California Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday afternoon confirmed Mexico will send firefighters to help Los Angeles battle wildfires.

Mexico's president cited Mexico and Los Angeles' close history when asked why she sent firefighters to help fight Los Angeles' wildfires.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo said that her country was sending support in part because many Mexican people live in the Los Angeles area.

President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexican firefighters and military personnel were going to Los Angeles to help fight devastating wildfires.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said firefighters from Mexico were en route to help fight the Eaton Fire. The Eaton Fire is one of several still burning and devastating the Los Angeles area. The fire was first reported Tuesday, Jan. 7, near Altadena and Midwick drives.
