Fontana Fire District with the help of Fontana Rotary donated a ladder truck this week to the Mexicali Fire Department.
“The 2002 American LaFrance ladder trick totes a 75’ ladder, a 1500-gallon per minute pump (GPM), ground ladder compliment, and a 300-gallon water tank,” said San Bernardino County Fire Public Information Officer Mike McClintock.
The truck served out of fire station 77 prior to the donation. It will now serve the City of Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico.
”The Fontana Fire District in cooperation with the San Bernardino County Fire District are proud to be a part of a solution that will continue to serve our brothers and sisters across the border and provide service to the communities they serve and protect,” said SBCoFD Division 1 Assistant Chief Jeff Birchfield, who oversees Fontana Fire District operations.
#SBCoFD crews completed in-service training on the ladder truck for their neighbors to the south before returning to their post.
