Pojoaque Volunteer Fire District

Pojoaque Volunteer Fire District The Pojoaque Volunteer Fire District is one of the 14 Volunteer Fire Districts of the Santa Fe Count at a cost of $4,000.

Located in the north central portion of the County the Pojoaque Fire Districts two fire stations are located at 17919 US Hwy 84/295 and #302 NM Hwy 503 and Nambe Falls Rd. Serving the communities of Nambe, Pojoaque, Jacona, Jaconita, El Rancho, Nambe Pueblo, Pueblo of Pojoaque, San Ildefonso Pueblo, Arroyo Seco and Cuyamungue the District is also home to the Northern Region paid paramedic crew (Me

d 50). The District has recently experienced a rapid increase in its call volume due to tribal development including Buffalo Thunder Resort and the Nambe Falls Travel Center as well as the reformatting of US 84/285 from Tesuque to Pojoaque and the continuing upgrade and modification of US 84/285 from Pojoaque to Arroyo Seco. In order to meet the increased demands the District works closely with NM-EMNRD/Forestry, BIA, Espanola Fire Department, Santa Fe Fire Department, Los Alamos Fire Department, La Mesilla Fire Department, Santa Clara Fire Department and other Districts within Santa Fe County. The Pojoaque Valley Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1958 by a group of civic-minded community members and was the first volunteer fire department organized in Santa Fe County. Department members constructed the original fire station on US 84/285 and a fire engine was obtained from Los Alamos Fire Dept. Over the past forty-six years the members of the Pojoaque Fire District have provided fire and EMS services for the communities of the Pojoaque Valley including three Pueblos and became part of the Santa Fe County Fire Department in 1997.

All firefighting is dangerous. Please keep the crews and their families in your thoughts as the fight continues.

The U.S. Forest Service joins family members, friends, colleagues and the entire wildland fire community in mourning the loss of three wildland firefighters who died Saturday, June 27, as part of an interagency response to the Knowles and Gore fires along the Colorado-Utah border. Two additional firefighters sustained injuries and are in our thoughts as they receive medical care.

We extend our unwavering support to the families of the fallen, the injured firefighters, and their fellow crew members during this difficult time.

We stand with the U.S. Wildland Fire Service and our interagency partners in honoring the dedication, professionalism, and sacrifice of these firefighters. Their commitment to protecting the public, communities, and natural resources exemplifies the highest ideals of public service.

An interagency review and investigation of the incident is ongoing. Additional details will be shared as they are able to be released.
