San Bernardino Donates Fire Trucks to Puerto Vallarta
 PVNN
Puerto Vallarta - Mayor Gustavo Gonzalez’s Private Secretary, Luis Alejandro Cerda Acuña, and Puerto Vallarta Fire Chief Braulio Eduardo Ramirez Garcia traveled to San Bernardino California last Monday to attend a ceremony to commemorate the city's donation of two fully-equipped fire trucks to the Puerto Vallarta Fire Department.
The two fire trucks donated to the Puerto Vallarta Fire Department by the city of San Bernadine are equipped to respond to major contingencies, and since fires have been raging across Mexico since April, when hundreds of fire fighters and volunteers were battling more than a dozen separate blazes in forests outside of Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta representatives made arrangements for the two fire trucks to be delivered to Puerto Vallarta as soon as possible.
Though the region is at the tail end of its several-month-long annual dry season, and seasonal rains will soon set in, Mexico has seen more fires so far in 2005 than in any of the preceding four years. Cerda and Ramirez expressed the gratitude of the people of Puerto Vallarta, saying the two fully-equipped fire trucks will serve the city well in the face of such an emergency.
The donation was made within the framework of the union and collaboration that has been established between the two cities, and in last Monday's protocol ceremony Luis Cerda presented San Bernardino Mayor Judith Valles Lopez with a miniature replica of the whale sculpture by Octavio Gonzalez, a symbol of Puerto Vallarta awarded to distinguished personalities in recognition to their support and collaboration.
In turn, Commander Braulio Ramirez delivered a testimony of appreciation on behalf of Puerto Vallarta’s Fire Department, before they both took the opportunity to say thank you to Doctor William Eich, a frequent visitor to Puerto Vallarta, whose drive made it possible for these two cities to come together in important collaboration agreements. |
