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.

Courtenay B.C. Supports

on . Posted in Nayarit

Protection Civil Nayarit, Mexico received a great little pickup that began the journey from Courtenay, B.C. Canada.   

The 2010 fire service pickup was a trade in at the local Chevrolet dealership and they donated it in 2019 to Courtenay FFCBs member Ryan Thorburn.  

The local Rotary Clubs of Strathcona Sunrise and Canadian Tire supported moving it down to Phoenix AZ.   The Rotary paid the insurance and gas and Canadian Tire donated new tires. 

Ryan and his friend Pat Lewis drove it to Phoenix fire who provided staging while Mexican importation permits were obtained.   The Covid Pandemic and permit issues delayed the final movement to Nayarit until August 20, 2021.   It now provides service to the people of Nayarit.

Thanks to all who made this possible.
