UncleShrimp
Why does the smoke cloud look like an angry poodle?
RichardBHard
Now that you know of the Poodle of Judgement, you are marked by His eye. Flee, before his earthly cult finds you!

Well, is the man child still not sending in federal help because these three states didn’t and won’t vote for him?
purpleBoner
Gracias Hombres!
UpSaDaisy
Look at them taking our life threatening jobs! Build a fire wall!
wadatahmydamie
You say this like it’s a joke, but if they’d gone to Medford out of uniform, they’d have been chased by dudes in lifted pickups.

muchas gracias

Build that wall. Jk. I’m Mexican
pleaseacknowledgethecat
Amazing they would even want to help us at this point. Thank you Mexico-one day we’ll get our shit together and dump the orange villain
DrMaggot
But, I thought all Mexico had was rapists and drug addicts?!
ricardoantonioperu
They gonna build a wall
andybCheesePrince
Don't tell Trump

When 9/11 happened, the African Masai tribe donated 14 of their sacred cows to the US, trying to help. Kindness and empathy knows no limit

Was this part of Trumps Murican plan? Like... keep those monsters out! Unless they're saving our ass... Then they can stay... temporarily..?

As a Southern Oregonian, thank you!!

I lived & worked in a hispanic district in KC for several years. I fuckin love Mexicans and all South/Central Americans. Salt of the Earth.
freeandclear
I'd trust a Mexican raised individual over a Northern US person on most occasions. I've worked with them in the most demanding situations.
freeandclear
and I have spent plenty of time in Mexico.

¡Gracias México!

I'm in Medford OR. We're basically inside that cloud.

I know people there, I hope you're okay! - ❤ from about 4 hours to the north

I live in white city i feel this man
lordrussano2
Medford here as well. We packed up and left for a few days to get away from the smoke. ?
stopnchat
Ayyy a southern oregon thread. Medford here. This is practically every summer now.
ThatKidWhoYoyos
It is, and it's bad. I keep hoping next year will be better if everything Burns this year. But it never seems to work out that way
Zeus541
Ashland here, I was wondering where this pic was taken. I havent been able to see more than a mile thru smoke for a week or so.
ThatKidWhoYoyos
Looks like near table rock
ProperPlanningPreventsPissPoorPerformance
But I thought Mexico was sending their worst here? Their rapists and gang members and the like? /s What a fucking toolbag president we have
BeFairToEveryonePlease
The truth often lies somewhere in between, in general.
ThyDevilsAdvocate
Remember Trump said Democrat cities should help themselves.
wr3k
Medford is for the most part very conservative
ThyDevilsAdvocate
Still doesn’t take away what he said.
ThyDevilsAdvocate
So looks like Mexico is helping Americans when the president doesn’t want to
Tunica
Waiting to read story where Oregon militia kills them all claiming they are looters.
RichardBHard
The dangerous Antifa is out there too... Ferrying supplies to firefighters and setting up relief camps for evacuees. Stay safe, y'all.
hahaLaha
Yea...Mexico!
sheeeiit
Some Mexico.

When Mexico sends people... they send their best.

Serious Q: what help are firemen on the ground like this? I understand helping evacuation but what about Thai?
Meletique
Building fire breaks
Marick2Die
These are wildfire fighters. They dig trenches to stop the flames and backburn to control the fuel a wildfire can use. It's a scary science.

Human decency should transcend all things that attempt to divide us. Even when we help those that despise us. This is the America I want.

If we could have less Americans trying to burn it all down... that would be a good start.
jokeyjokemaker
The American you want is Mexico, apparently :D
lncorrectGrammerNazi
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They got food right. Maybe we could learn even more from them.

spaceisneat
Yeah, but Trump wouldn't do the same for Mexico. I think that may be in the implication here.
cliffjumper83
I think the person spit out some word salad that sounds virtuous and people are eating it up
PerminHerm
Theres an election around the corner. I don't think GOP would avoid the photo opportunity.
pabloissleepy
Me too. Part of me still has hope we can achieve that version of America someday.
juicynibbler
We can. We will. There will be sacrifices and blood will be shed to make that a realization. But we're fuckin Americans, and we make shit
juicynibbler
happen. When I look back at the short history of our nation, I can't remember a time when someone wasn't striving to be good, or do better.
juicynibbler
We got this.
insomniac24x7
This is thr America we have, don’t let the orange buffoon tell you otherwise.
OtherErinFromTheOffice
I want to believe this so badly. But there are so many bad people in our country right now who are getting a lot of attention.
9times
The loudest ones always get the attention.
insomniac24x7
The loudest person in a room is usually the weakest
insomniac24x7
And it’s awful, but they are actually a in a minority
OtherErinFromTheOffice
And yet Trump won in 2016, and there is a good chance he will win in 2020 :(

How did they get over the big beautiful wall?
makethebestofit
They climbed over your moms fat back that’s how !
LurkerOfDarkness
They took a cue from the Germans and just went around it.
sc363
There's a whole 5 miles on new wall (non replacement) as of mid august!
QuartzPoker
They're firefighters. They can go anywhere.
lostartz
Over? Nah gringo we go under.
GTVH
I hear the planes still can fly over it, something went wrong during design and testing.
RearadmiralButtStuff
A brisk walk
CatatonicCowMoo
LurkerOfDarkness
They wanted to build a wall and make the babylonians pay for it.
JimmyKrackKorn
They just went through the part that fell down.
StillChasingFireflies
Has it gone up in smoke yet? Please say it has....
iTakeHourLongShits
I was snuck in via car at the border.
tokerator
It burned before it was built.
whatbuttondoipush
They flew in an airplane. It's not the fucking stone age, like they walked or someshit
IsolatedAsshole
You must be so much fun at parties.

Duh, firefighters have tall ladders. For real tho, this is what real heroes do. Look for the helpers.
SerpentGundam
I'm a firefighter in the city. These people have nothing but my respect. It's back breaking and grueling work.
Heavenissize17socks
They're here to steal our fire!!
memepolice420
Why would Mexico do this? What has the US done to deserve this courtesy? Legitimately asking.
imagineacoolnamehere
You guys had helped in past in different matters specially when tragedy hits, it's token of gratitude in a way.

It's amazing how much grace people lend each other in times of need.
Reknball
Oregon firefighters have traveled all over the world (including Australia) to battle wildfires.

For humanity and solidarity, race or skin color does not matter
TuggSpeedmann
There’s way more gears turning between countries than just petty politics
fordham63
Because they have a duty. Normal thinking people don't understand. These are elite human beings that think beyond our aggressions. Love them
babycucumber
Because we're all on the same rock hurdling through space.
IWasGoingToMakeEspresso
Because Mexicans are awesome!
captainken
If memory serves M provided a lot of aid after hurricane Katrina. Many other times, too. My favorite is that they offered slaves safe haven.
PresidentOfMexico
Trumps gonna pay for it. But it’s all good
hunnycat
Good people do good things.
albers1345
It’s sad that common humanity is questioned as suspicious lately, result of our environment
DarkBlueB
Not suspicious but undeserved
afterdarkart
Because the Gov. no longer represents the people. And I dare say the popular minority voices in america, do not represent us either.
gumol
Trump isn't the US.
BigPete0
Mexico is one of our biggest trade partners. We buy billions of dollars worth of stuff from them and vice versa. It's good business to help.
Orcajet
My dads a US fire mngmt specialist and he’s been deployed to help in Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Russia we help eachother
jellyjoints
Quite a lot of countries send firefighters or specialist equipment to other countries in times of crisis. It's a sort of unspoken agreement
pleaseacknowledgethecat
We’ve done nothing to deserve this. But thankfully not everyone on earth is as reprehensible as our current administration.
LuxVertas
It's called "being friendly" something you yanks claim to be?
lordrussano2
The firefighters are from Guanajuato Mexico, which is a sister city to Ashland Oregon (in the Medford area). Source: I live in Medford.

It’s not uncommon. There were American teams in Australia for their big fires earlier this year. But mostlt it’s because Mexico is good ppl
SometimesIBuildThings
When their house is on fire, you don't argue with your neighbor about the cost of your hose.
souleater2847
Just because you laughed at me in my time of need doesn’t mean I won’t help in yours. Some people will call it dumb, I call it being better.

Because your current president would only last a couple of months more (or 4 more years if you don't vote) 1)
Pronak
And the racist people is just a loud minority. The relationship between our 2 countries is stronger than that. Mucho ánimo, vecinos!
SpencGiraffeShaper
Most forestry agencies have a mutual aid agreement In time of need they will put out a request and any agency with firefighters to spare 1/2
SpencGiraffeShaper
Will send their resources to help out. When we (Alberta) needed help we got firefighters from Mexico, Aus, New Zealand, and parts of America
TheGrassyKnoll17
They're better people than us
LeaveTheLightOn
Because they are good people.
QuartzPoker
They know this insanity is temporary and America will still be here after Trump passes.
fordham63
Seriously! What does Trump have to do with wild fires?! This is an ignorant question! God bless you human.
LaoBeifong
US does a ton for Mexico, plus there’s precedent for each country sending firefighters
bassanglersfishermen9000
What does the US do for mexico, just genuinly asking?
TinyRickRoll
We don't deserve help I think. Glad they are here.
AnalCrusader7
Americans both
Hiboredimdad
Being a good person means doing good because its right, not because it's owed. America could learn from this example.
Peachos
For over 100 years they've been the bigger men towards us & they send hurricane/fire relief when our govt drops the damn ball. So everytime

Because unlike our current admin they are caring people and know we are all in this together. And politics shouldn’t come before safety

Last year was a different circumstance altogether though, for them to do so currently shows immense class imo
qixx23
Weve exchanged firefighters often over the years, for many reasons. Source: i was a wildland firefighter for 6 yrs. Great guys.
