The Mexico Volunteer Fire Department is committed to providing electronic information in a format
that is accessible by the largest number of users possible. We do this by attempting to:
- Comply whenever possible with the accessibility standards in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act as amended by Congress in 1998.
- Use web site design standards that emphasize consistent and easy to understand navigation and presentation of information
- Minimize web page loading time to accommodate slower connections.
- Adhere to HTML standards to ensure compatibility with the widest possible number of web browsing programs and platforms.
In some cases, we present information in form of Portable Document Format (PDF) files. This is a standard web format which can be read with free software available for most computers here:

When presenting information as a PDF file, we will attempt to:
- Clearly identify the document as a PDF file and provide a link to the software needed to open the file.
- Create text-based, searchable PDF documents. This is not always possible when presenting graphics or alternate language documents.
Adobe makes accessibility information and tools available on their web site that allow conversion of PDF files to HTML or text:
Adobe Acrobat accessibility information, links, downloads, Web and email based accessibility and conversion tools for PDF files::
