To study the spatial patterning of forests and forest fires and plan for better use of fire fighting resources in the U.S.

Explanation:

Studying natural and anthropogenic phenomena in other countries is not an irregular or unusual practice at all and can be very helpful to improve governmental responses to natural disasters at home.

Since the United States shares a long border with Mexico, many of the forest patterns and species of trees found in the two countries are the same, and there is a great amount of useful overlap between distribution patterns that can be useful for forest fire fighting and reforestation.
