Much 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.
On Feb 26th 2018 the first of four lifeguard towers was dedicated on the north beach of Sayulita, Nayarit. The tower was funded by Groupo Sayulita, designed and built by Cyd Viator of Phoenix AZ using 100% recycled plastic.
