Firefighters Crossing Borders began assisting firefighters in the State of Jalisco in 2008. Our first mission was a joint effort with TAPFIRE to assist in the creation of a fire department for Ayutla. TAPFIRE, our partner agency, was instrumental in the equipping and training the first-ever fire department of El Grullo in 2006.
In 2012 we took on Puerto Vallarta providing consulting and training opportunities. FFCB assisted in a review and creation of a Master Plan for the City and our regional reprsentative currently heads up the Vallarta Fire EMS Project Team of community organizations working to improve emergency services for the people of PV.
The project continues with the training of the firefighters of Ayutla. FFPM Andy Graham, one of the instructors with the Joint project group has a personal blog and has been keeping it up, including pictures. To find out how its been going, go to http://www.kayakmedic.blogspot.com/
