The Agua Fria Fire District is situated in west central Santa Fe County and is responsible for providing fire and emergency medical services to the communities of Agua Fria, Las Campanas, La Tierra and Fin del Sendero. Its two stations are located at #58 SFC Rd. 62 and #3 Arroyo Calabasas Rd. The Agua Fria District continues to grow with many residences in the Las Campanas area in excess of 5000 square feet. The district assists and receives aid from other agencies including the City of Santa Fe, US Forest Service, NM State Forestry, and the other Santa Fe County Districts.
In late summer of 1991, a group of eight residents formed the Agua Fria Fire & Rescue Department. They operated the first year with no funding or equipment other than donations. The City of Santa Fe (SFFD) Fire Chief Frank DiLuzio gave Agua Fria a 1974 American LaFrance fire truck. In September 1992 the Charter was passed for the Agua Fria Fire District. The first year calls of 638 grew in just four years to 838 runs. Today, Agua Fria District call volume averages almost 1000 calls annually. Santa Fe County gave land off of County Road 62 for the construction of the main station. In 1996 land was donated in the Las Campanas area for a sub-station and soon after the La Tierra substation was constructed. This station now accounts for roughly 25% of the calls in the Agua Fria District.
Agua Fria is served by career staff as a core, supplemented with district staff during assigned shifts, times of heavy call volume, and during serious incidents. District staffing provides training and qualification opportunities for individuals wanting to experience the fire service or for those looking to pursue a career and gain valuable knowledge as they enter the field. For those interested in making a meaningful impact on our community, we encourage you to contact us to learn about our programs.
