Dept. of Agriculture(@USDA):USDA is grateful to welcome additional wildfire personnel from Australia and New Zealand who arrived this week to support suppression work across the West. This second contingent—up to 250 skilled fire management specialists—joins the teams deployed in late July and is already contributing to incidents on the ground. Our longstanding international agreements make this collaboration possible and strengthen both our response capacity and shared expertise.
