- Hard-pressed firefighters in the West are getting reinforcements from some unlikely places. They've pulled in crews from across the country to battle deadly infernos like the Carr fire in Northern California, but one unique crew fighting that wildfire traveled thousands of miles across the Pacific. They're American nationals from Samoa, a tropical U.S. territory about 2,500 miles south of Hawaii. Mireya Villarreal reports.

Love Samoans. Theyre too relaxed at everything they do.
That true
@IslandMahn are you saying im over relaxing of everything i do
IslandMahn, sometimes.
@@saesalele8133 we are all the time uce lmao 🤣
The ones hating on Samoans must of got a hiding from one. Much love though.
I lived in Lawndale California during that time I met some really awesome Samoan and Tongan people. Their Heritage their culture and just all-around attitude was pretty cool. Even the gangster Tongans and Samoans are cool.
Thanks I’m Tongan🇹🇴and Samoan 🇼🇸
More people should be like the American Samoans sounds like a great bunch of people to be around
or just any Samoan...
RODNEY SCHELLS well,you honestly could just say Samoan,don’t even know why they had to make “two” Samoa’s,I mean...mk that’s history I guess
@@usi8821 the reason theirs to words of American Samoa and western Samoa different language but same culture
Oi Sinapoa, different language? It’s the same. And Western Samoa no longer exists.
The big islands in Samoa were mainly owned by Germany and England back In the day that's why people still say western Samoa I guess
They are going to beat that fire to death!
lol
God bless them and keep all the firefighters safe and healthy!
Mexico sent a crew also! Wonderful men! The Samoans! They are Christians!
Ok not all Christians
All are Christians and for those who aren’t oh well
Not Christians we are warriors
Kefe
@@namoralii9819 🤣🤣🤣
Gotta love one of America's known forgotten colonies. Samoans are very happy people And don't bring each other down. The lift each other up by singing and expressing their feelings through dancing to keep spirits and vibes alive. We love you Samoa!
Oh how much love my culture❤️ #proudsamoan
Samoan and Firemen! I've died and gone to heaven! 😍
Samoans can beat anything😂💪🏽
May God bless them all, keep them safe beautiful and loving, what great big hearts they have!!
Hey, anybody that helps his fellow man in need is awesome in my book I guess.
May God bless everyone who is fighting these fires. Love the wonderful songs! Thanks so much for helping. We truly need to tap into the positivity of these beautiful young men! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️💕🎶🎵🎶
Us Islanders got pride and we raise it high 🤙🏽‼️‼️ chhhheeeeehhoooooooo
They also have war songs, but they came on peace so they sing happy songs !!!
Proud Samoan 🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸
You "Sams", Stay Safe! You hear?
Hank Terreros I feel like only the ones born back home understand what you’re talking about😁👍🏼🤙🏼
They shouldn't be "Nationals" they should automatically be citizens for how much service they give to you're country...Kalofae
koko tuffery, a majority of them don’t want to be citizens.
🤟🏼❤️🇦🇸 USO’s did good on there job... ❤️❤️❤️
My Samoan people...#proudtobesamoan
Thank you!
LOL, SHOULD'VE DONE THE SAMOAN FIRE KNIFE DANCE!
Lol,right..who better to handle the fire..than the ones who's culture dances and plays with fire,lol..
I love my people so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Yessss!!!!!!😭😭❤️❤️SAMOA MUAMUA LE ATUA😭😭😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇼🇸🇦🇸
Wish all American people could be as positive and helpful. On another note, American prison inmates don't get proper credit for their assistance in fighting fires either.
Get it Ronald.Ameperosa
Manatua pea lau aganuu Samoa🇼🇸🇼🇸🥰🥰
If they're doing it. It'll get done. They're a whole different strong

Still can’t vote
We like maintain our title or what we want people to know about Samoans or any other pacific island as the happiest people’s on the planet🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
The same guys that appeared in the Models safety video of Air NewZealand
New Zealand natives are the Maoris. Samoans come from Somoa.
@@lambertlum1087 samoans and maories are the same. They originate from a village called manuka in New Zealand. I studied this in middle school 20 years ago.
@@mojoejojo6675 People may have the same origin, but they tend to drift apart. Take the Japanese for example. They refuse to acknowledge that their ancestry comes from China. They will issue angry words, claiming their own distinctiveness.
@@mojoejojo6675 well you're school lied to you
@@mojoejojo6675Samoans came to new zealand to do labour and build houses and buildings or whatever because they needed jobs that had good pay
People 🤣😂Samoans are natural leaders because of the culture!!! U meet a Samoan kid 1 or 2 they operate as a team if not, they except to be single and understand the situation 😁😀😆😉No big deal!! Its all about LIVE AND LOVE!!!
us samoans are positive, were raised like that
Yesssir American Samoan🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸
💝 these guys are smoking hot ! 🔥 🔥 🔥
✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾 USO
They sound American to me!
Well its america Samoa. Technically they are part of america but are Americas nationals. But then you have Samoa which is not part of the u.s.
Their culture is not based in greedyness and superiority. When people do not have those difects in their mind, they are happier. Unlike the american that took the Hawayan land. Give their land back to them. Help them to live a free and happier life.
Yes, but that Samoan identity is also tied in with their Christianity. There was a close up of their Bible. They are followers of God, battling wildfire and singing songs.
@@lambertlum1087 so they are cristians, more reason to allow them to enjoy their culture and the teacnings of jesus in the land that creator gave them in complite freedome. And not been invaded by their own cristian brothers couse U.S.A. is a cristian country isn't it? NOT THEY ARE NOT. couse their actions show other thing.
Otomi Chato. Are you confusing Western Samoa with American Samoa? Western Samoa decided to go independent. American Samoa refused to join.
@@otomichato864 their culture wasnt originally Christianity, it was brought by missionaries and the somoans slowly adapted to Christianity
Littlejohn, you are correct. Samoans (all of us), had a prophetic message answered when the missionaries came. Ask your wise Samoan friend the origins of the name PALAGI.....
We feel like? We are AMERICAN! Just because america bought our island, we are AMERICAN TRIED AND TRUE! Fought in our wars and even fought the states when tou took us. WE ARE PROUD!!!
um isn't american samoa already a part of america as they're a territory of the US
It's called American Samoa to be distinct from Western Samoa. Western Samoa went independent and now call themselves Samoa. The two Samoas have a number of disagreements with each other.
Same people just two different goverments.
Don't try to understand clueless mainlanders. Some of 'em can't even locate their own state on a map
America Samoa is part of america. They are known to be Americas nationals. But america Samoa is one of Americas forgotten colonies. But Samoa is independent. So there are 2. America Samoa and Samoa.
Well actually they were called Western Samoa (Upolu) and Eastern Samoa (Tutuila) so the Germans took Western Samoa but the US took Eastern Samoa. Then the Germans let New Zealand to look after Western Samoa and Western Samoa fought back then New Zealand went back to their country and Western Samoa was independent. But, the US looked after Eastern Samoa n which is now become American Samoa named after the US

PROUD TO BE SAMOAN
THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT THEM OUT, AS ITS WRITTEN
Eze 20:47 - And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein
Eze 20:48 - And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched
They are Americans just in another country..aye
Bruh
They are in the same country
They are "fine".I want to marry anyone on that bus.

Did someone tell Trump these guys are here not speaking Merican?
Their English sounds good to me. Nothing wrong with having a second language. Trump's grand daughter speaks Mandarin.
Did Donald Trump have the balls to Say it himself???? I'm Samoan my first language is SAMOAN n your language is Second.
Like you, we embrace our own language and that of the English language. There's nothing wrong with speaking our native tongue, especially when the songs your hearing on here are gospel songs. Chill
Q Man Yeah but American isn’t a language
Cheehoo! Samoan pride oh another thing they should done was do the ailao afi with the hire haha😂😁
Some of them will get shot by the police. 😔
What are you talking about ?
@@ufaxpyro4200 some valea kele stuff palagi people say 😂
