2014 Jalisco – Nayarit Regional Training Symposium

The Association Regional of Bomberos of Nayarit and Jalisco's conducted their first annual Regional Training Symposium in Puerto Vallarta on May 7, 8, & 9, 2014. Seventy five firefighters from two states participated in the three days of training.

FFCB instructors worked with the Association's instructors on a variety of classes that included: Fire Investigation, Fire Codes, Rope Rescue, Hazmat Awareness, Auto Extrication, Fire Attack, Incident Management and Pre-Hospital Care.

FFCB instructors included:

The Marina Puerto Vallarta Rotary Club supported the Symposium providing logistical support, registration and lunches for all the instructors. Universal Vacation Club International provided accommodations for the FFCB instructors.   Thanks to the Russell Family Foundation for their continuing support for this area.

The Symposium was a total success and provided quality training for the local firefighters. FFCB instructors took the lead on the first day and Associate instructors were delivering the classes by the third day. They will continue delivery this training to all their firefighters over the next few months. In addition, new members from other fire departments joined the Association which will continue to meet and work on training issues for the region. They're already talking about next year's event.

Many thanks to our crew and those that made this first time event such a success!
