More about the Mexican Rotary Fire EMS project:

The Fire Departments and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in Mexico in many cases are poorly supported by government funds. Many areas have little if any protection and those working in the fire service are in need of better equipment and training.

Many US Rotary Clubs have helped with donations in the past. Rotary International, District 4150, has created a World Community Service project in an attempt to better organize and coordinate those efforts. They are working with the Mexican Fire Chief’s Association and Firefighters Crossing Borders on the project. FFCB is a non-profit group based in Washington State and is made up of firefighters from the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Working together the goal is to bring advanced training, equipment, and vehicles to departments desiring assistance throughout Mexico.
