In August 2026, various Mexican states held skills competitions to commemorate Firefighters Day.

In Baja California, the State Civil Protection Coordination organized the ‘Bomberas y Bomberos de Acero 2026’ in Tijuana. The event involved personnel from multiple municipalities competing in ten emergency response skills, such as victim rescue, ladder climbing, and the use of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). Winners received specialized personal protective equipment.

Similarly, in Michoacán, the State Civil Protection Coordination hosted the ‘Bombero Extremo Challenge’ in Morelia. This competition tested the strength and technique of emergency personnel across three categories: Open, Female, and Over 50. State officials used the event to recognize the dedication of local firefighters and committed to further professionalization and training for responders.
