International Firefighters Training Association Donates Fire Engine

On October 30th, Comala, Colima, Mexico Fire Chief Francisco Alejandro Rodriguez Garcia arrived in Beckwourth, California to officially accept and celebrate the fire engine and fire/rescue equipment donated by the International Firefighters Training Association. The staff from the Beckwourth Fire Department then provided engine orientation, drivers training, pumping and operations to Chief Rodriguez Garcia.

The engine was then driven down to the LA County Fire Museum and staged while we wait for the Mexico Custom’s paperwork to be completed.
