Binational Liaison with Mexico

Emergency Management leads the Binational Liaison program of the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. San Diego Fire-Rescue Department staff participate in several emergency planning groups of local, state and federal emergency agencies from the U.S. and Mexico. The groups search for regional solutions to cross-border issues.

Several Fire-Rescue firefighters perform duties as Mexican liaisons, who interact with their counterparts from Mexico, under the oversight of Emergency Management.
