Academy 40 Orientation Night marked the beginning of an exciting journey for our fire academy recruits. As we start building the foundation for the academy, our Honor Guard played an important role in helping introduce recruits to foundational formations, discipline, and the importance of moving and working together as one unit.

These early lessons may seem simple, but they establish the discipline, teamwork, and attention to detail that will carry us throughout the academy and into the fire service.

A strong foundation starts on day one. We’re proud to begin this journey together and look forward to everything that lies ahead.

Academy 40 Family Night
We’re just getting started, and it was a great opportunity for our families to see where this journey begins. Family Night gave us a chance to share a little of what we’ll be learning, the challenges ahead, and what it means to be part of the fire academy.

We’re grateful for the support and encouragement from the people who will be there with us throughout this journey. This is only the beginning, and we’re excited for what’s ahead!

Over the past week, we’ve had the pleasure of celebrating several personnel promotions. While our department traditionally honors promotions at an annual ceremony, these recent achievements were recognized immediately within their stations, allowing crews and families to share in the moment, we will also include them in the annual official ceremony when it is held. Such occasions highlight the dedication and hard work our team members have demonstrated this year as they’ve advanced in their careers.

The following individuals were honored:
- Battalion Chief Robert Brown, pinned by Lieutenant Dwayne Kusserow
- Lieutenant Dwayne Kusserow, pinned by Battalion Chief Robert Brown
- Driver Operator David Arellano, pinned by his wife, Marty

These celebrations serve as meaningful reminders of the commitment our personnel bring to their roles every day.

Please join us in congratulating Justin Whitefield, who has been named Deputy Chief of Operations for the Las Cruces Fire Department!

Deputy Chief Whitefield began his City of Las Cruces career in 2007 as a member of Fire Academy 25. Since then, he’s steadily risen through the ranks — from Firefighter and Driver-Operator to Lieutenant, Battalion Chief, and now Deputy Chief.

Along the way, he’s helped lead training initiatives, managed logistics and equipment programs, supported the Hazardous Materials Response Team, served as a Battalion Commander, and deployed with regional Incident Management Teams during major incidents. He’s also been a licensed paramedic since 2015.

Most importantly, Justin has spent nearly two decades serving the people of Las Cruces with leadership, expertise and dedication.

“His extensive operational experience, technical expertise, and dedication to service is why Deputy Chief Whitefield was a clear choice for the position,” said Fire Chief Michael Daniels.

Congratulations, Deputy Chief Whitefield! We’re proud to have you leading the way and serving our community.
