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 Engines for Nayarit

on . Posted in Nayarit

On August 20, 2021, Protection Civil Nayarit was successful in importing two donated fire engines and a lot of good used equipment. 

Nate Girard a Captain with the Berkeley Fire Department, CA and a FFCBs member facilitated the donation of the two 2001 Pierce Quantum engines.

Much of the equipment that went down with the engines was donated by nearby San Ramon Fire Department and collected by their Captain Erik Falkenstrom, another FFCBs member.

Three members of Protection Civil flew to Berkeley and drove the engines over to Tucson AZ where they were staged by Tucson Fire while importation permits were obtained.

The engines and equipment are now in service protecting the people of the State of Nayarit.

Thank you to all who made this possible!
