The Las Cruces Fire Department is hosting at least three public meetings in August to share information on current services provided and gather feedback on how the department can best serve its community.

The public engagement meetings will be held:  

  • Thursday, Aug. 8 at 3 p.m. in Council Chambers, Las Cruces City Hall, 700 N. Main St.
  • Saturday, Aug. 10 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Farmers and Crafts Market, 514 N. Main St.
  • Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 5 p.m. in the Roadrunner Room, Thomas Branigan Memorial Library, 200 E. Picacho Ave.

Additional meetings will be announced in August.

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.
