Groundbreaking Set for New Fire Training Academy in Santa Fe

Work is set to begin this month on a $28.1 million fire training academy and memorial in Santa Fe.

Franken Construction is serving as the general contractor on the project, which will support firefighter training across the state while honoring those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

The new facility will expand access to training, particularly for departments in northern New Mexico, and includes dedicated training spaces along with a memorial honoring fallen firefighters.

This is an important investment in both the future of public safety and the legacy of those who have served.
