British Columbia is set to deploy crews to Los Angeles to help battle the wildfires that have wreaked havoc on the American metropolis.
The province's move was made in response to a request from Cal Fire.
"CAL FIRE has asked for a senior management team from BC Wildfire Service," Premier David Eby announced via a post on X. "They will be departing imminently."
He explained that BC was "also working to send ground crews as part of a national response."
"California has been there for us, we will be there for them," Eby added. "That's what good neighbours do."
He is far from the only politician emphasizing the word "neighbours" in their assistance announcements.
Emergency Preparedness Minister Harjit Sajjan did the same when he revealed that "250 firefighters, aircraft equipment, and other resources" would be deployed, with the Canadian Armed Forces on standby to help.
When National Defence Minister Bill Blair confirmed that the deployment of armed forces assets had been approved, he, too used the term.
Even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made sure to note that the United States and Canada are, and will be, "neighbours."
The fires broke out earlier this week and have since reduced entire areas of the city to ashes. Over 10,000 structures have been destroyed, and 10 people are confirmed dead as a result of the disaster.
No cause has been determined.
