Canada’s consul general in Los Angeles said it’s been all hands on deck as they work diligently to help Canadians who have been displaced by the wild fires and help co-ordinate help from home.

While many high-profile Canadians have lost their homes, been displaced or evacuated by the wild fires burning in Los Angeles County, at this point no citizens have lost their lives or been injured due to the blazes, according to Global Affairs Canada. That said, one Canadian water bomber has been knocked out of commission as a result of its work battling the fire.
