That's why, "very happily I share that, thanks to own resources from the Municipal Administration of Tijuana, we will deliver 3 new pipes with a capacity of 6,000 liters, because it looks easy, but I know the effort, the sweat that this takes, and sometimes they are not even acknowledged," the mayor said.

The mayor said that, regarding progress in labor matters, the 24th Municipal Administration complements the necessary materials so that firefighters can carry out their heroic work in a proper and safe manner.
