About Sinaloa

OneSinaloaFirefighters Crossing Borders initiated it's relationship with the State of Sinaloa in 2006 with the delivery of a 100 foot ladder truck to Bomberos Culiacan. A second training session brought in firefighters from Mazatlan and other neighboring departments leading to the development of the Sinaloa Fire Training Symposium.

Today 80-100 firefighters and officers from every department in the state come to Culiacan each year to attend this annual 3 day symposium. Topics over the years have included fire officer skills development, engine and truck operations, vehicle, water and rope rescue, and more.

Beyond the annual symposium FFCB regional representatives work closely all year with department heads ushering in equipment and vehicles. In 2013 Bomberos Culiacan developed the first warehouse for equipment coming into Mexico from the US and Canada. Equipment is then distributed to departments in need throughout the State of Sinaloa through the non-profit association Bomberos Amigos.

Culiacan 2010 Training Postponed

on . Posted in Sinaloa

Our Mission slated for the first week in February 2010 for which we had coordinated 12 instructors and interpreters from around the country was postponed. The first time we have ever had to make such a hard decision. But keeping the safety of all our instructors and listening to their concerns we felt that this was the best course.

We will look at returning later this year or next. Our efforts to ship the Type II Ambulance filled with equipment was continued and as of today it sits in Nogales waiting for Culiacan to complete the paperwork and have it cross the border.  The equipment  sorely needed includes the first of our Hurst donated extrication tools. This tool, when added to their inventory will allow for each engine to have its own set.
