Newsom wrote on X: "Firefighters from Mexico are en route to the Eaton fire — joining more than 10,000 personnel already on the ground. California is deeply grateful for President Claudia [Sheinbaum]'s support as we work to suppress the Los Angeles wildfires. Our partnership and shared commitment to helping communities in need is greatly valued."

Christine McMorrow, Deputy Director of Strategic Communications, told Newsweek in an email: "Currently we have 13 people from the British Columbia Fire Service enroute to the Palisades Fire to shadow Incident Management Team 2, per an interagency MOU between CAL FIRE and the British Columbia Fire Service. Staff are working to coordinate the logistics to bring 90 firefighters from Mexico City to California. They will be assigned when they arrive, possibly in the next day or two."

Mexico's National Civil Protection Council on X wrote: "Tomorrow, the Mexican delegation will leave on a solidarity mission to protect lives and nature. Mexico is with the United States. Solidarity has no borders," according to a translation.
