Santa Fe County Fire Department
Leadership Team


Chief Caputo joined Santa Fe County Fire in 2009 as a Firefighter and EMT. He steadily advanced through the levels of EMS licensure, completing the UNM Paramedic Program in 2015, and has since served as a Paramedic in all four regions of the county. Throughout his career, he has taken on several leadership roles, including Training Captain and Battalion Chief of Special Operations.
Chief Caputo began his fire service journey as a volunteer in Sandoval County and has continued to build his professional foundation through education, earning an Associate’s Degree from the New Mexico Military Institute and a Bachelor of Applied Sciences from Eastern New Mexico University.
Outside the fire service, Chief Caputo enjoys an active lifestyle with his wife and children. Together, they care for a diverse collection of animals and reptiles—a unique hobby that reflects their curiosity, dedication, and appreciation for challenges both inside and outside the fire service.
