The El Camino Fire Academy will receive two reserve fire engines donated by the City of Torrance Fire Department. These fire engines will replace two engines that were damaged in a fire that broke out at the Fire Academy's garage in September 2020 and will be used as front-line training engines. Since the fire, the El Camino Fire Academy has received assistance and generous donations from the following fire departments: Torrance, El Segundo, Redondo Beach, Culver City, Los Angeles County, City of Los Angeles, Vernon, and Rincon, as well as support from Municipal Emergency Services, Inc. These firefighting agencies have been consistent partners with the El Camino Fire Academy for many years, often donating essential equipment that helps keep training equipment up to date. This kind of support contributes to the Academy's ability to offer the highest level of firefighter training.

To continue the spirit of giving, the El Camino Fire Academy donated two of their nonoperating fire engines to the Tecate Fire Department in Tecate, Mexico. Through the Fire Academy's relationships with Firefighters Crossing Borders and Firefighters for Christ, they were able to find a good home for these engines at no cost to the college. These organizations donate equipment and training resources to fire departments in Mexico and Latin America. The fire engines will be restored into full operating order to be used on front lines to help fight fires in San Diego County and northern Mexico.
