Australian firefighters are waiting for a call from their struggling US counterparts, as wildfires rip through Los Angeles and leave tens of thousands forced to evacuate.
US firefighters battling multiple massive blazes are stretched and at least five people have died as strong winds hamper efforts to control the inferno.
Australian fire authorities - including the National Council for fire and emergency services (AFAC) - confirmed on Thursday no official request for help has been made by the US so far.

(I am a volunteer CFA firefighter myself, but am too old now to be sent on something like this).
This is great.
I wonder why we haven’t had offers of mutual aid from Canada and Mexico.
Are they bringing their own water?
And some vegemite!
You may not have heard about it, but Canada is already sending firefighters and equipment.
I’m not sure about Mexico.
No, I was unaware of that. Glad to hear that.
Are they homosexuals or lesbians? There is your answer....
“I wonder why we haven’t had offers of mutual aid from Canada and Mexico”
Canadian super scoopers were flying today.
Ten million Mexican fire fighters ... who will immediately scatter to the four winds as soon as they are across the border.
Interesting. The Aussies are used to fighting brushfires cause by jihadists.

“ O’ mujahideen everywhere, why don’t you fight the enemy with bushfires such as those ones? Fires which could kill hundreds of them, destroy thousands of their homes, and cause damage worth millions.”
But you will not hear police or California govt. officials ever talk about it.
There are lots about Australia I love!
Vegemite is NOT one of them.
I saw videos of Canadian aircraft water tankers.
Thanks for the info on the Canadian aerial fire fighters.
Are they going to bring water with them?
Are they white? Male? Straight? LA will take a pass on them.
