History

The first fire district to be created by the Santa Fe County Board of Commissioners was the Pojoaque Fire District in 1959. By 1982 there were eleven officially recognized fire districts in the County and a twelfth was in the process of forming. The Fire Districts defined the area through which emergency services (fire, rescue and EMS) were provided. In February of 1997 the Santa Fe County Fire Department was officially organized under the administration of a single fire chief with service areas further defined by region and district. The original county fire districts were consolidated into the Department for administrative oversight purposes and paid firefighters were added to geographic regions to support and augment the services provided by those districts.

The Santa Fe County Fire Department is currently supported by 150 volunteer members who are responsible for responding to fire, rescue and EMS emergencies twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days per year.
