Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada will be sending firefighting experts and equipment to Chile as the country battles wildfires.
In a statement released on X on Sunday, the prime minister said that Canada will be sending wildland firefighting help, also thanking Chile for its “invaluable support” last summer, when Chile helped Canada fight unprecedented wildfires.
“When wildfires burned across Canada last year, Chile stepped up to provide invaluable support,” Trudeau said on X.
“Now, in response to devastating wildfires impacting our Chilean friends, we’re sending them help – including firefighting experts and wildland firefighting equipment.”
The number of firefighting experts and the specific equipment that will be sent has not yet been declared.
