The Valley Hispanic Bomberos have had a longstanding role in our firefighting history. This is their legacy.
PHOENIX — The Valley Hispanic Bomberos have been mentoring aspiring firefighters for decades. Now that those volunteers are on Valley firefighter crews, they're carrying on the legacy.
The mentees are known as grey shirts. They look to veteran firefighters like Capt. Morales and Captain Danny Fraijo for guidance to help prepare for the job and hiring process. Capt. Fraijo is the organization president. They continue that tradition with different outreach projects, and they hope to inspire kids who grew up just like they did.
