Firefighters from American Samoa who are helping fight 35 Northern California wildfires performed a traditional Haka dance to thank the crews shuttling them to the fire lines.

The crew of five veterans and 11 rookie firefighters from the National Park of American Samoa joined the Northern California wildfire force as part of their training.

The Samoans were equipped with gear when they arrived in Redding, Calif., and they, in turn, said thanks with celebratory songs and dances.

The video was posted to Facebook with the caption, “The American Samoa crew showing their appreciation for the crew shuttles to the Horse Fire from C-101 & 102 by showing us their Haka. Great group of men and women helping us out in NorCal.”- Drew Rhoads
