I think it's great that they offered their help. How many countries came to our aid when we had those hurricanes/flooding last fall or other major disasters? That was part of my point. We aid many countries in times of their major disasters.
The other point is that I think there is much more to this disastrous fire than they are telling us. I'd bet that the radioactivity is pretty high. With many years of testing in that area, there is a lot of 'stuff' in the ground and plant life and with the fire it's being released into the atmosphere and will affect people in neighboring cities/states.
