NMSU Fire Department

Established 1921

The NMSU Fire Department (FD) provides emergency response for the NMSU main campus.  NMSU FD also responds mutual aid to other departments in Dona Ana County and to the City of Las Cruces.  Our Fire Department is staffed by four career administrators and fourteen student firefighters. The firefighters are full-time students at NMSU or DACC.  NMSU FD also provides fire prevention, other public education services, and programs.

NMSU Fire Deparment is a full service fire department. We provide fire suppression, emergency medical services, hazardous material response, and technical rescue response. In addition, we perform medical standbys for all athletic games, special events, and concerts.  

NMSU FD is centrally located at the corner of Wells St. and Research Ave., south of the intramural fields. Here is our location.

NMSU Fire Department would like to thank Captain Jose Mendoza for all your years of service--enjoy your retirement.
