Two retired firetrucks will head south of the border to departments needing equipment, officials said.
Two nonprofit groups -- the Salinas Rodeo Rotary Club and LULAC Council 2907 in Castroville -- will each deliver one of the pumpers.
Over the last 2 1/2 years, the Salinas Fire Department upgraded its fleet with six new engines, making the two older pumpers superfluous. “They’re going to a community that doesn’t have fire protection or doesn’t have a fire pumper,” Fire Chief Dan Hernandez said.
