Thanks to the work of our International Service Committee, fire equipment and medical supplies are en route to Mexico to support the Culiacan, Mexico volunteer fire department. These items have been graciously donated by the Portland Fire Department, Lane Fire District, Pleasant Hill Fire District and the Woodburn Fire Department. Phil Sperl drove the truck loaded with twelve pallets of supplies to Nogales, Arizona, where they will be transferred across the border. Below are photos of the equipment being loaded here with the help of the Woodburn Fire Department, and the unloaded supplies in a warehouse in Nogales. These donated items will not only aid in fire safety, but will also potentially save lives.
