coordinating

Two
years
and
six
trips
later
firefighter
garcia
and
other
boulder
fire
department,
members,
along
with
the
international
firefighters
training
association,
have
been
able
to
provide
training
and
have
donated
numerous
gear
and
equipment
that
could
not
be
used
in
the
u.s

of
its
expiration,

good
workable
condition.
Nonetheless,.

I
just
feel
real
fortunate
to
be
in
the
city
of
boulder
because
boulder
embraces
diversity
and
culture,
and
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
that
what
we're
doing
now
to
be
able
to
meet
the
two
chiefs
and
just
to
be
able
to
move
on
forward
and
and
just
show
a
lot
of
support
for
one
another
and
just
get
better.
As
we
move
on
forward.
