With just a few short days to go, and the bulk of the planning completed, Team El Salvador is excited to travel to San Salvador to work with Cuerpo de Bomberos de El Salvador once again!

For most of our team, El Salvador will be a new place on the map to visit. They will find, as others have in the past, that El Salvador is a beautiful and vibrant Country full of great hardworking people.

We look forward to the time we will spend with our Bombero friends and colleagues…stay tuned for more!

Con sólo unos cortos días para el final, y la mayor parte de la planificación completa, Equipo El Salvador se complace en viajar a San Salvador para trabajar con Cuerpo de Bomberos de El Salvador, una vez más!

Durante la mayor parte de nuestro equipo, El Salvador será un nuevo lugar en el mapa para visitar. Ellos encontrarán, como otros han hecho en el pasado, de que El Salvador es un país hermoso y vibrante lleno de grandes personas trabajadoras.

Esperamos que el tiempo vamos a estar con nuestros Bomberos amigos y colegas … estad atentos para más!

Safe travels to the El Salvador and Colombia teams who are heading out tomorrow! This will be FRITA’s inaugural deployment in Colombia. Buena suerte, Bomberos!
