For years now, South Africa has been part a group of countries that come together to combat wildfires across the world.

Their firefighters have been in Canada helping to fight wildfires that have engulfed parts of the country since late May.

Three teams, in total of about 600 firefighters, have been deployed to Alberta and Quebec to help protect lives and properties.

In doing so, the South Africans have also come with their now trademark of song and dance at airports as they leave and land, lifting spirit and moods as Lydia Sono and Trevor Abrahams have been telling Alan Kasujja.
