Pat Piper, Bates Fire Training Chief and a member of FFCB met with officials of the University of Tijuana, Mexico in hopes of creating a dialog between the two schools. The goal, to bring structured fire training to the region, F.F.C.B is working with the Bates Fire Academy, (Tacoma, WA,) in becoming an active partner. We continue the work started in 2005 still with hopes of establishing a link and training academy in Mexico.
