American and Canadian firefighters share a nice moment while fighting wildfire at the border
It's been a tough slog for firefighters battling a the Horns Mountain fire along the United States-Canada border, but it also provided a moment of levity.
The Horns Mountain fire is one of many that's been burning in the Pacific Northwest, but it also happens to straddle the border with nearly 5,000 acres burned in the U.S. and a little over 900 acres burned on the Canadian side.

There's some good news, though: as of Monday afternoon, the fire was 94 percent contained.
The bad news: there's still plenty more fires to fight as the summer, the heat, and the flames rage on.
But, at least for a few moments, the brave men and women who continue to battle the flames had a chance to rest and enjoy some time with their comrades.
