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.

Two Ambulances for Nayarit Mx

on . Posted in Nayarit

On December 23, 2019 two very nice donated ambulances arrived in Tepic, Mexico and will soon provide lifesaving service to the people of Nayarit Mexico.

The ambulances were donated to FFCB by Alan Lennon, President of American Legion Ambulance, Post 108 in Jackson California.  

Tom Blackman, supported by members of the Jackson Lions & Rotary clubs, drove the ambulances down to Phoenix after meeting up with FFCB member Erik Falkenstrom who loaded uniforms and equipment donated by his San Ramon CA Fire Department.

The ambulances were staged at Phoenix Fire Department’s service yard until in-kind importation permits were obtained.   

Representative from Civil Protection Nayarit went up and drove them across the border and home to Tepic, Nayarit.

Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this happen!
