Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa Message Board - Gracias Bomberos! https://www.zihuatanejo.net/tablero/ Information for visitors and locals about Zihuatanejo, Ixtapa, Troncones, Barra de Potosí and the surrounding region of the Costa Grande in Guerrero, Mexico en Gracias Bomberos! (reply) A member of our group cut his foot last year in the water down by Rossy's on LaRopa. Barnacle covered rock of all things. Anyways it was a deep gash so we requested an ambulance.

After a 6min response time!!!!!!! Here comes the fire truck!!!!!!!

The bomberos removed all the crap the tourists had been wrapping his foot with, cleaned, bandaged and then transported to a recommended clinic. They even let him play with the siren(even 46 year olds love activating the siren).

They are FAST by anyone's standards, take on multiple roles(search n rescue, lifeguard, ambulance, fire), and earned my respect.

Thanks Bomberos Of Zihua.

Just after sunset, 2 swimmers were in distress well off Playa La Madera. Our staff heard their cries for help and called the bomberos who responded FAST. One brave lifesaver entered the Bay in front of our place (no easy feat) and the others retreated back to Playa La Madera to assist the rescue from the beach.
2 nationals were saved. Gracias Bomberos!
