Firefighters from Mexico aid Texas flood search and rescue: ‘There are no borders’

Team of firefighters and first responders volunteer along Guadalupe River after mass flooding in show of solidarity

A contingent of firefighters and first responders from Mexico arrived in Texas over the weekend to aid in search and rescue efforts following the devastating flooding of the Guadalupe River in a show of solidarity with their northern neighbors.

When it comes to firefighters, there's no borders," Ismael Aldaba, founder of Fundacion 911, in Acuna, Mexico, told CNN on Tuesday. There's nothing that'll avoid us from helping another firefighter, another family. It doesn't matter where we're at in the world. That's the whole point of our discipline and what we do."
