I didn't know that! They should make a diplomatic/political event of solidarity, a great global migration of firefighting aircraft shared by nations all trying to mitigate climate change and preserve human and natural landscapes!!?
Why doesn't everyone know about this!? The story sells itself.
Can't speak for Canadian news, but Australian news gives it a mention every now and then. It's been going on for so long it's kind of old news to most at this point.
It is in the news, though there's usually not a huge song-and-dance about it. It's mostly just mates helping mates (with the necessary international agreements in place).
Australia has regularly sent large air tankers and firefighters to the U.S. and Canada (though I'm unsure about aircraft into Canada), and most recently firefighting helicopters and firefighters to France.
