Angel Fire fire chief reports Firewise application and council adopts deployment pay structure

Jun 25, 2026

Fire Chief Jason Paz told council the village applied for a large Firewise designation; council later adopted Resolution 2026-48 to formalize deployment pay (including a 20% increase for personnel on wildland deployments) and add a 5% administrative fee for vehicle rentals.

Fire Chief Jason Paz reported that the village submitted an application for Firewise recognition covering an unusually large area (the submission seeks inclusion of more than 1,000 homes). He thanked staff and volunteers and highlighted recent prepositioning and deployment activity by the wildland team, which returned from a 14-day deployment that will generate revenue for the village.
