Day 8 Leaving San Diego
Saturday, 26 April 2008 23:00
After a great night at the Ball Park (Padres Lost) and some new friends we headed out early to meet Marcello at Station 19 San Diego to drop off the 3 extension and two roof ladders. He will be contacting Carlo who was our primary interpreter in Tecate this week. After a short tour and another thank you we headed off north to our respite in Sacramento, the Marks'.
Santa Ana's are blowing and the temp is increasing. It's good to be heading home north.
 
Mission Day 5
Wednesday, 23 April 2008 23:00
I had a really good blog, already written and spell checked to transfer onto this blog but I forgot it at the room. Wednesday was a good day, in the am Scott led a New Vehicle PPT presentation and then we went out to the tarmack and showed the firefighters the Airbag system we brought donated by Poulsbo Fire of Washington.
After lunch sent Mark and Scott to the high angle off site location to train with rope systems. We were able to arrange to have the private volunteer rescue group and the Tecate and Tijuana bomberos train using combined equipment. We see this as a great step in getting these groups to accept the help of each other. This was a great class, they started around 2:30 and finished up around 8, around the time that Tyson and I were coming back from  the mva.

While Mark and Scott were working with the groups on the rope rescue training. Tyson had already been on a fire when we were at the central station working on the next day and Tyson was responding with the engine. A head on mva came in and off went the engine.

Mission Day 4 Part Deux
Monday, 21 April 2008 23:00
No I didn´t forget Day three. We arrived in Tecate around 2000 and after quick intros, went to our hotels and to sleep after a strategy session. Our trip was uneventful unless you consider the flat, brown, dusty road between Sacramento and the LA  Basin. Traffic was so light it was like the lanes were parted just for us.
