Animas Fire/Rescue's 1981 busiest year on record
The Animas Fire/Rescue answered 55 alarms in 1981, about one every six and a half days, with 41 EMS calls and 15 fire incidents. Most responses were outside the district, and alcohol-related factors contributed to 13 calls, with nine linked to vehicular mishaps. No fatalities occurred, and October and Friday evenings were peak periods. The department plans new equipment and a shared training program starting January 16, with ongoing efforts to strengthen Hidalgo County mutual aid and volunteer involvement.
