The public meetings are a great opportunity for Las Cruces residents and the business community to learn more about the services provided by LCFD and have a say in how the department can better serve its community.

LCFD will ask participants to take part in an engaging exercise during each meeting and provide feedback by completing a short survey.

Besides firefighting, the department provides advanced life support care and specialized teams such as their Technical Rescue, Hazardous Materials Response and Aircraft Rescue.
