'I love fighting fire and I want to hopefully help the Australians out there... hopefully we do our due diligence as we should as a country, and get out there and get to work,' said firefighter Jackie Ortega.
As massive blazes continue to ravage parts of Australia, 20 seasoned firefighters from California -- with well over 100 years of experience combined -- are on their way to help battle the flames.
"It's really a big honor for the Angeles National Forest on behalf of the US Forest Service to be able to assist our brothers and sisters in Australia in this really devastating fire season they are facing," Angeles National Forest Fire Chief Robert Garcia said in a news conference Monday. It's not the first time the countries have helped each other out.
