December Update

High Rolls Fire has been busy supporting operations with the county due to the heavy recent snowfalls. The FD Plow Truck has been utilized to ensure fire and rescue access is maintained for the citizens of Otero County. High Rolls Fire also supported the recovery of seven stranded hunters, stuck in the snow, near the Upper Cox Canyon area.

In January, we are possibly scheduled to take delivery of a new Rescue unit, to replace the current unit #645. This truck will be used to carry rescue, vehicle extrication, and specialized forcible entry tools. It will also be used to support medical response with High Rolls EMS, and to perform basic Search and Rescue. It will be a fine addition to replace an aging workhorse in our department. We will keep you posted on any new developments.
