Arroyo Rescue • 2024 03-18

Paramedic is on the spot with... a sponge? –a notepad? —as youth makes it out of a turbulent arroyo in this detail from 3D mural More Than a Firefighter (1999) by PAZ/aka Patricio A. Zamora, mounted on the entire west/8th Street SW side of Fire Station 1, also known as the Fire Marshall's Office building, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Rescuing people from sudden whitewater in what might have just been a bone-dry arroyo is an all-too-frequent duty of Albuquerque Fire Rescue personnel, especially during the late July/August monsoon season.

Artist PAZ's son is a paramedic and 15-year veteran of AFR. ('Albuquerque Fire Department'/'AFD' rebranded to 'Albuquerque Fire Rescue'/'AFR' in May, 2018.)

This "sculptural" mural had faded and suffered vandalism after 23 years, but was completely repainted by the artist in 2022.

Full mural view here.

Location: 724 Silver Ave SW, west side (on 8th Street SW) 6:10pm
