Santa Fe County Breaks Ground On New Fire Station in Edgewood
Santa Fe – March 5, 2007 – Santa Fe County breaks ground on the Thunder Mountain Substation in
Edgewood on March 10th at 10 AM. The Thunder Mountain Substation will serve the Thunder
Mountain, Quiet Valley, Vista Montana, Tierra Vista, and surrounding communities. “We’re very
excited about Thunder Mountain” said Santa Fe County Commissioner Michael Anaya “This is
another step to make sure that Santa Fe County is equipped to insure public safety in this area.”
Part of the Edgewood Fire District in the Southern Region of the Santa Fe County Fire Department
(SFCFD), the 3,859 sq ft unmanned substation will have 3 bays to house one engine, one brush
truck, and one tanker. It will have meeting space and can accommodate 2 volunteer firefighters.
The Southern Region is headquartered at the Edgewood Main Station. It is manned 24 hours a day.
The three substations are located in Cedar Grove, San Pedro, and now at Thunder Mountain. It is
staffed by fifty volunteers and 6 full-time firefighters, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians
(EMTs). SFCFD uses three ambulances, four engines, three brush trucks and three tankers to cover
the 112 sq miles of the Edgewood Fire District.
Located at 18 Dinkle Road, just west of State Rd 344, Thunder Mountain is designed to complement
the rural New Mexico ranching theme. Stan Holden, Santa Fe County Fire Chief said “We have state
of the art tools, now we just need the people to put them to use.” SFCFD is currently recruiting for
new volunteer firefighters and EMTs for the station due to open in July.
