Volunteer ambulance fire station
Donation protected
I am the Comandante of the Mulege Bomberos Sub-Estacion Bahia Concepcion. Together with Mulege we have started a fire department in the beach area of the Bay of Conception. Until this time any emergency had to wait until someone could go to town and bring help back. It's a continuous struggle to raise funds to keep things going as there is no help here or in the Mulege station from the government. We keep on top of it with fund raisers and small fuel donations from people we help. Now our friends in Canada have donated a fire truck to us here on the beach and one to Mulege and an ambulance for us on the beach. They are donated free and clear but we need expenses to cover the trip from Canada to half way down the Baja Peninsula. Once we reach the Mexican border we will have to pay to drive across. We need air fare, food and lodging for our drivers. We need fuel expenses. And we need you to keep your fingers crossed that we do not need any repairs or tires on the way.
Yes, we do have an ambulance now. It goes to Mulege and back but we would not trust it to go to LaPaz. It doesn't have A/C. When it's 100 degrees here and 80% humidity it is not great for the patients.
Yes, we do have a fire truck now that holds 750 gallons. If you have seen a palm house go up in flames then you know more is needed. The new truck holds 1200 gallons. We have to go to Mulege to refill the tanks so two trucks are definitely needed. We do not want to miss this opportunity to help this community.
We are hoping everyone who is associated with this community will help with our cause. We respond to every call and never charge. Now's a chance to help us help you.
We are hoping to have enough finances to bring this equipment down the end of November so they will be here for the season.
