On August 12th, 2021 the Denver Fire Department donated over $100,000 worth of extrication and protective equipment to the San Pedro Volunteer Fire Department in Mexico. Denver Chief Desmond Fulton handed over the used equipment to San Pedro Chief Juan Hernandez at the Denver Fire Training Center. The equipment included 21 SCBAs, a Jaws of Life, nozzles, hoses, pike poles and power saws. The equipment was decommissioned in the United States due to NFPA standards but will see new life in Mexico. The small department in Coahulia has 21 volunteers and two SCBAs. San Pedro did not have a Jaws of Life and currently pries open car doors with hand tools.
