Robert Monsivaiz has assumed his new role as Doña Ana County Fire Marshal. He replaces Paul Chavez who resigned earlier this year. Chief Monsivaiz is the former Fire Chief from Sunland Park and Mesilla.
Robert Monsivaiz, age 44, is a resident of La Union began his new job on Tuesday.
I have personally known Robert for a number of years in my role as Secretary of the Dona Ana County / City of Las Cruces LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE which Robert is a member and in conjunction with the Office of Emergency Management during various types of emergencies/disasters.
Robert brings a great wealth of experience to the position and understands the operations of the fire services, emergency response, training and mitigation process.
I know Robert will assess the County's needs and will continue to build upon the need for training and funding to the County's fifteen Volunteer Fire Departments.
Before assuming the County Fire Marshals duties, Robert was Fire Chief of the Sunland Park Fire Department, a position held since November 1995. The department has a staff of 14 firefighters and between 15 to 20 volunteers. Prior to that, he served as Fire Chief for 12-years in Mesilla.
I congratulate Robert on his new appointment and look forward to continue working with him.
