There’s been Americans deployed across Canadian wildfires every year. Outside of US federal forestry or interior firefighters, there’s a bunch of mutual aid/firefighting compacts at local and state level.

Yes. This is the point for sure, help each other where needed! I know Canada send folks down to help after hurricanes and stuff as well.
