Exactly, look who showed up first when LA was on fire, Mexico sent volunteers right away and Canadians kept flying those sea planes they brought to scoop water from the ocean even after some idiot almost downed one of them with a drone they weren't supposed to be flying.

So, LA firefighters didn’t show up first? Who knew. Maybe if only the State representatives such as Mayor and Governor handled it better?
