• is informing residents of the program sponsored by Taos Soil and Water Conservation that provides monetary aid to qualifying residents to help clear fire breaks on their private property.

We could not do all that we do without the assistance of the members of the Rio Fernando Fire Department. We appreciate their support. They allow us to use the firehouse when needed. Our summer picnics could not happen without their active participation. Visit https://rffd.org to find out more about the Rio Fernando Fire Department or about becoming a Fire Department Volunteer.
