The Battalion Fire and Rescue

In this episode we follow a shift at a fire company in Columbia as they overcome low budgets, old equipment, and low pay.

Today, we ride with the Assistant Chief of Mexicali Fire in Baja California Mexico. Firemen here have with no funding and have no tools except what they bring from home. A call comes in and it's the report of a bomb in a vehicle. The engine company responses but despite the hardships we see the dedication of the local firemen.

Day breaks at the station. We see what the local firemen there have to do to have hand tools and what they have to do to keep them secure. Later after noon, we are at a small station in and industrial park, barely two rooms and a bathroom, and they run there Rescue Squad out of here with an old engine. That night a call comes in and it's a structure fire with someone trapped inside.
