Dolores Fire hosted the 2022 Tri-State Firemen's Association Convention, "was a success"
The Tri-State Firemen’s Association was formed in 1938 by a group of department chiefs and other members of several departments. These firemen had a vision that a tri-state association would help the area fire departments not only learning new techniques but be able to share ideas, training, competition and camaraderie. - https://ts-fa.org/
