Welcome, and thank you for visiting the Animas Vol. Fire & Rescue Department website.
The Animas Vol. Fire & Rescue Department is the oldest county fire department in Hidalgo County and was organized in 1973 and officially founded on January 15, 1975 by the citizens of Animas to provide fire protection for the community. The station was built June 1, 1979 and had a two bay addition built in 1998.
Over forty years later, the Animas Vol. Fire & Rescue Department is still providing fire protection to its community and outlying areas.
The town of Animas is located in Hidalgo County, 25 miles south of I-10. Animas is a small ranching and farming community of 237 (2010 census). The Animas Vol. Fire & Rescue Department provides coverage to over 1000 square miles of Private, State and BLM Lands.
Our capabilities range from structural protection, wildland and urban interface, rescue and public education.
We provide automatic aid for Cotton City Vol. Fire Dept. as well as provide mutual aid to both
the Rodeo Vol. Fire Dept. & Playas Vol. Fire Dept.
We are completely state funded by the NM State Fire Marshal's Office through the New Mexico PRC.
