Ojinaga (Mexico) Fire Apparatus Breaks Down

Firefighters from Ojinaga, Mexico, came to assist a wildfire response but then had their fire truck break down on the return home, reports CBS 7.

Presidio Mayor John Ferguson said he wants to do something to help them so he has setup a GoFundMe. On the page, he writes “Presidio and many others in Far West Texas are very grateful for the assistance Bomberos de Ojinaga always provides to residents of the Big Bend area. Because the Bomberos’ resources are limited, including a very old fire truck that has broken down in Presidio, we are seeking donations to help them continue their invaluable work.”
