AFR provides both fire and emergency medical services,[6] including two hazardous materials squads and one heavy technical rescue squad with vehicle extrication, confined space, rope, structural collapse, trench collapse, swift water, and elevator rescue capabilities.[3]
The Albuquerque Fire Department was originally established in 1900, replacing an earlier volunteer fire department.[7] It was renamed Albuquerque Fire Rescue in 2018 in order to acknowledge the wider scope of duties handled by the department.[8]
AFR has fielded a ambulance that is capable of initiating pre-hospital Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.[9]
