About Nayarit

FF1flipped 110pixsMuch of Firefighters Crossing Borders efforts have been focused in the southern area of the State of Nayarit.

The first mission was in 2010 in support of the Zachary Chambers Foundations efforts to improve emergency services in the small village of Sayulita, part of the Municipality of Bahia de Banderas.

Later that year, we established an onsite regional representative who had been working with the areas firefighters sense 2008. With support from a newly elected Municipal President and assistance from community groups the Bahia Fire EMS Project has resulted in the opening of new fire stations, improved equipment, and better firefighter training.

Fire departments from other areas in the State have also received training and equipment donations.

FFCB representatives worked with Bahia staff to review of the areas needs, an expansion plan was developed to increase the number of stations, the number of firefighters and the number of ambulances and firefighting vehicles. FFCB provided recommendations on type of vehicles and equipment required. We also offered to help facilitate the development of community partnerships to assist in implementation of the plan.   Over the next couple of years new fire stations will be established in Sayulita, Punta Mita, San Jose, and Flamingos.  The main station will be moved from Bucerias to Jarretaderas.
