Earlier this year, a group of Carson, Calif. firemen watched Dana Brown's Baja 1000 documentary movie Dust to Glory. They were so inspired by the story of Eric Solarzano and his Class 11 VW sedan that many of them decided to build a car of their own and enter in this year's Tecate SCORE Baja 1000.

Named Full House Racing, the team from Carson, Calif.'s, Firehouse 116 decided to add to their inspirational story by starting the Baja Rescue Project. It was a concept that centered upon their donating a much needed "Jaws of Life" unit to their fellow fireman in Ensenada, Baja, Mexico, the starting location for this year's race. News of the effort soon generated even more donations, and now they will deliver two additional "Jaws of Life" units to the people of Baja Sur, where the race ends.

This fire truck-themed Class 11 VW sedan was built at Carson Firehouse 116 by the heroic men that staff this Los Angeles county facility. When word of their rookie Baja 1000 effort spread, a host of local and off-road industry supporters came to their aid to insure the Baja Rescue Project was a success.
