Hurst Inc. makers of the “Jaws of Life” officially announced a partnership with Firefighters Crossing Borders to get reconditioned older rescue tools to emergency agencies outside the United States. The release was carried on Reuters, AP, Miami Herald and various other news reporting agencies. Since then we have been receiving many requests for help, offers of donations and inquiries to get involved.

Coming soon to our website, we are working on creating new pages highlighting those requests so that we can put those needing help with those offering. Anyone visiting our site who might be inclined to help, may find a place and request that touches them.

Now more than ever we are in need of all kinds of help and donations. We expect several dozen rescue tool units and are working on getting them where they will do the most good. Please take the time to browse this site and make a donation.

We have worked hard over the past year to bring the Western States engine purchased for Ayutla into Pump ready status. Crime Stoppers of Tacoma has arranged for the engine to be shipped to Ayutla mid September.  September 6 in Gig Harbor you can see us and the other partners in the Ayutla project with the new batch of apparatus heading south to Ayutla and El Gruilo at the 2nd annual Bash For Gas.

The Pictures are of Firefighters Crossing Borders member Dale Togstad FF/EMT of Gig Harbor Fire, working on the finishing touches.

 

 

At Approximately 1pm Eastern, Hurst inc. Makers of the “Jaws of Life” are planning to anounce their nationwide rebate program for older extrication tool units and the new relationship with Firefighters Crossing Borders.org. As the older exchanged units are brought in they will be refurbished and donated to our organization for distribution and training to Emergency agencies in Mexico and other countries through our many contact agencies.

We are still in need of all types of donations to help us continue our missions. If you wish to help contact us through our donation page on this site.
