Finally, Fire Chief Lorenzo Rodriguez Jr. commented, “As Fire Chief one of my main goals is to continue working with City Staff, Fire Department Staff, the Nogales Firefighters Local 2763 and with the local, State, and Federal Public Safety agencies to make Nogales a better place to live. The mutual aid agreements we have with other Public Safety agencies, as well as the Bi-National Response Plan with Nogales, Sonora are effective tools that we have and can be activated when any emergency arises.” He continued, “I am proud to be a firefighter and very happy to serve as the Fire Chief.
