The NMSU Dept. of Fire & Emergency Services (DFES) provides emergency response for the NMSU main campus. DFES also routinely responds to aid other departments in Dona Ana County and the City of Las Cruces. DFES is staffed by four career administrators and fourteen firefighters whom are all full-time students at NMSU. DFES also provides fire prevention and various forms of public education related to emergency services.
DFES provides services similar to most other fire departments. We provide fire suppression, emergency medical first-response, hazardous material response, and technical rescue response. In addition, we are on standby for all athletic and special events.
DFES is centrally located at the corner of Wells St. and Research Ave., just south of the main intramural fields.
