"It was a great day when we poured the roof. The whole community showed up to help and show support. The week before every kid in town was required to bring at least one bucket of sand or rocks to add to our concrete materials. They all went to the river bed and showed up with their little buckets! Even the firemen from Santiago came across the lake to help. This made me feel real good to have them working together too. The residents of San Juan and around the lake are very excited about and supportive of the fire station and water ambualnce."
