Fire Station construction Construction of the fire station in San Juan la Laguna mostly complete. The only remaining phase is the apparatus bay. This bay will allow vehicles to be protected from the weather and from equipment theft. This construction project has been warmly supported by the local community. The concrete structure was poured bucket by bucket. Local school children were given the day off from school to each carry a bucket of rocks from the lake shore to the construction site for the concrete mix. Made with Slideshow Embed Tool

Ongoing need for fuel & maintenance

Often the firefighters who transport patients to the hospital pay for the fuel needed to transport their patients to the hospital.
