3. Has the US sent any kind of help?

Paid for firefighter volunteers to get there? Money? Equipment? Thoughts and prayers?

4. I have Australian friends who say there

are some US firefighters helping. Also, there are many groups who are donating money and some crafters groups in the US making Roo pouches, bat wraps, nests, and other wildlife necessities.

6. Seems like a very small official response.

But I know very little on such things.

I also learned today that there are California firefighters in Australia now. Let's face it, if it were left up to trump it would be botched anyway, so better we find other ways.

5. We have sent an

Experienced team.

Only 20 of our best though.

Don't over extend dump!
