A group of American firefighters arrived in Australia to help combat the nation's ravaging wildfires.
As the group walked through the airport, they were met and greeted with wild rounds of applause from travelers grateful for their help. New South Wales Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons wrote on Twitter, "Coming through, all gathered gave a spontaneous and lengthy round of applause, reflecting the gratitude and admiration we all have for their generosity."
U.S. officials said they are planning to send at least another 100 firefighters to Australia to join the 159 already there.
