On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, the San Juan County Office of Emergency Management will conduct the 2026 San Juan County Full-Scale Drill.

The drill will take place at McGee Park, 41 Road 5568, at the intersection of US 64 and Road 5500. Police, fire department, and emergency medical service (EMS) activity will begin around 7:00 am and conclude at noon.

This is a continuation of the full-scale drill series that SJCOEM has been coordinating for first responders on an annual basis.

Local hospitals will also participate. San Juan Regional Medical Center, at 801 W Maple in Farmington, and Exceptional Community Hospital, at 2670 Pinon Frontage in Farmington, will receive simulated patients to test the capabilities of both facilities. Patients may be transported to the facilities by SJRMC ambulances or AIT ambulances. Both hospital emergency departments will remain open throughout the drill.

McGee Park will be closed to the public during the drill; however, Sunray Casino will remain open and can be accessed from the main parking lot.

The public can expect large concentrations of first responders at McGee Park. There will be simulated emergency radio transmissions on public safety frequencies.

There should be no impact on the public during the drill.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the San Juan County Office of Emergency Management at (505) 334-7700.

Let's talk about burn permits.
You want them, and we *can't* issue them.
The state forester enacted restrictions in April that are still in effect.

There does not seem to be an end in sight to the restrictions, and despite being out of the control of County Fire, people are taking it out on our office staff.
We understand your frustration. Don't take it out on the person who answers the phone and *can't* issue you a burn permit.

There is a waiver process. You can find the waiver information here:
https://www.emnrd.nm.gov/sfd/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/04.06.26-2026-FINAL-Restrictions-Exceptions-Procedures.pdf

Again, not our process.

Additionally, the state government has the power to rescind the restrictions that were imposed; county government does not.
Please direct your concerns to the New Mexico Energy, Minerals, Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) and the State Forester.

The event is at 8:30 am on Friday, September 11, 2026, at 100 S Oliver Dr. in Aztec.

January 1958 – Bloomfield volunteer firemen. They are standing in front of a 750 gallon Seagrave pumper mounted on a GMC truck which was the most recent addition to their firefighting arsenal. In front of them is a wheeled foam extinguisher which was one of their first pieces of equipment. The department was organized in 1950. At that time they also purchased an early 1930s Chevy firetruck from the town of Aztec. The firemen are left to right: Gene Asbery, Cecil Luckey, E.C. Witherspoon, Verol May, Fire Chief Ed Lynch, Bloomfield Mayor Louis Faverino, Bob Evans, Eugene Pacheco and Ray Anderson.
