The Farmington Fire Department is proud to officially place our two new fire engines—Engine 1 and Engine 2—into service.
As part of a long-standing fire service tradition, crews transferred water from the old engines into the new ones, symbolizing the passing of service and responsibility from one generation of apparatus to the next. The engines were then pushed into the bay by hand, honoring the firefighters who served before us and marking the beginning of these engines’ service to our community.
These engines were purchased using New Mexico Capital Outlay funds, and we want to recognize the teamwork that made this possible. Thank you to state legislators, the City of Farmington, and IAFF Local 2850 for advocating and working together to secure the funding needed to keep our department equipped with modern, reliable apparatus.
Engine 1 and Engine 2 will serve on the front lines protecting Farmington for many years to come. We’re proud of our crews, grateful for the support, and committed to continuing to serve this community with professionalism and pride.
