Individuals sought who have an interest in any aspect of firefighting (structural and wild land) and/or EMS services.

Hondo Fire and Rescue serves the Arroyo Hondo and Canada Village areas of Santa Fe County, New Mexico. We are one of 15 fire districts within Santa Fe County. We serve our district out of two stations, one on Seton Village Road and one at the intersection of the Old Las Vegas Highway and US285. Hondo’s district covers approximately 120 square miles and contains approximately 3000 homes. The population within the district is rapidly growing. This trend in population growth is followed by an increase in call volume. For example, in 1994 the department responded to 271 calls while in 2008 the department responded to over 540 calls.

We are called upon to perform a wide range of protective services. We are trained and equipped for structure and wildland firefighting, vehicle extrication, swift-water rescue, low and high angle rescue, and emergency medical services. These services might not otherwise be available to our community if we did not volunteer.
