The call came in as "23-Delta," a medical emergency requiring a high-priority response, prompting the Albuquerque Fire Rescue team working in the city鈥檚 International District to turn on their lights and sirens and head out on a hot summer day.

A man appeared to be overdosing in a parking lot near the KFC at Louisiana and Central. He had an injury to his head, and firefighters quickly checked his pupils and did a body scan.

A woman nearby, who appeared dazed and possibly under the influence herself, walked away as first responders tended to the man. Another man took the woman鈥檚 spot, using the shade of a dumpster to escape the harsh sunlight.

An ambulance arrived and loaded the man into the vehicle, but he eventually stepped out, said he did not need help, and walked away.

An hour later, firefighters responded to the same location. The man who had rested near the dumpster was dead.

Police officers arrived shortly after to identify and take custody of the man鈥檚 body. A white cloth now covered his face.

An autopsy will reveal the cause of death, but firefighters theorized that he overdosed and choked to death on his vomit. A witness said she saw the first man that firefighters had helped attempting to resuscitate him.

Firefighters with Station 5 returned to their home base to await the next call, which wouldn't take long.

The Journal joined AFR for a ride-along on Aug. 18, a Tuesday afternoon, to learn how first responders provide treatment in overdose situations and what changes they have observed while giving aid to people as New Mexico grapples with a substance abuse epidemic. 

鈥業t was like every other call was an overdose鈥�

AFR鈥檚 Station 5, at 123 Dallas NE, is the busiest in Albuquerque and the 15th busiest in the nation, according to a 2024 Firehouse Run . It covers about 5 square miles of the city 鈥� a relatively small area for a station. Station 18 in Northwest Albuquerque covers the largest area, 37 square miles.

But Station 5 covers a densely populated area where firefighters respond to overdose calls at a much higher rate.

It was a hot summer day with no clouds in sight as temperatures reached a high of 95 degrees. Another call came in, and firefighters dashed out of the station and into the parking lot of a McDonald鈥檚 near Wyoming and Central.

Two men, one of whom was unresponsive, were overdosing. AFR immediately administered Narcan to one of the men, who continuously yawned and nodded off.

鈥淚鈥檓 not a cop, man, you can tell me what you did,鈥� said Kyle Frederickson as he and Derik Chavez, both with AFR, began to check the man鈥檚 vitals and glucose levels. 鈥淲as it blues (fentanyl) or meth? I鈥檓 here to help you.鈥�

Frederickson and Chavez spoke softly to the man and had a defibrillator ready as they urged him to respond.

The man mumbled that he had done fentanyl. He did not say how much.

Firefighters cannot force a person to accept hospital services, though the person does have to prove that they are alert enough to refuse services or transportation.

The man sat down as an ambulance arrived. He eventually declined services and walked away. AFR had deemed him stable enough to forgo further treatment.

The other man was placed onto a gurney and taken to a hospital as a crowd of unhoused people gathered to watch.

The firefighters remained unfazed, even as the crowd began to yell at nearby police officers.

A few minutes after the situation was cleared, another call came in just down the street.

Albuquerque Fire Rescue responded to more than 80,000 emergency medical service calls in 2025. Over 80% of those calls are for emergency medical services. The situations for those calls vary, but almost every day firefighters can expect a call about a person overdosing.

The average is four, according to first responders. It can often be more.

鈥淟ast week, it was like every other call was an overdose,鈥� one firefighter from Station 5 said. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know if it鈥檚 just bad batches of fentanyl or if they were stronger, but every call was just overdose, overdose, overdose.鈥�

AFR responded to 2,998 overdoses between August 2025 and July 2026, according to a naloxone administration and overdose trend report from the department.

Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is a medication that can reverse or reduce the effects of opioids. Firefighters said the administration of Narcan is almost always the first step when responding to an overdose call due to the increasing prevalence of opioids.

鈥淲e know that we鈥檙e going to show up, give them Narcan and they鈥檙e going to wake up,鈥� said Station 12 Captain, C-Shift, Daniel Murphy. 鈥淓verybody has Narcan now, which is great because we鈥檙e saving lives, but it鈥檚 become routine for everyone to think, 鈥極h, someone will just give me Narcan.鈥�

鈥淲here we are at as a society is pretty wild to me. There鈥檚 not much else we can do, but there鈥檚 got to be some way that we can convince people to take treatment.鈥�

An AFR report shows that December had the lowest rate of naloxone administrations, with 86 canisters administered. An observation column in the report stated that number was 鈥渓ow.鈥�

The following month there was an uptick that has continued. There were 136 canisters administered in July.

AFR administered 1,350 doses of Narcan from August 2025 through July, according to the overdose report.

Narcan, however, isn't always effective. It has a shorter half-life than opioids, meaning the drug could still be in a person's system as their body is digesting it, and the person could still die from an overdose once the medicine wears off.

There are no patterns when it comes to people who overdose. The demographics, ages and identities all mingle and intertwine, according to AFR officials.

Another call 

Another call has come in. Bystanders have gathered around an unconscious man on a sidewalk. Three Narcan packets were discarded next to him.

It鈥檚 become more common for bystanders to administer Narcan to people on the streets, oftentimes giving someone a dose or two and leaving. Multiple firefighters said it has likely saved countless people who would have otherwise died.

鈥淭hey鈥檝e been handing out Narcan to everybody on the street, which I think has helped a lot,鈥� said Jace Dubick, who works at AFR Station 12 in the Northeast Heights. 鈥淭hey鈥檒l see someone overdosing and give the person Narcan themselves.

鈥淭hey don鈥檛 even call 911, or sometimes they will and we get there and there鈥檚 no patient because they walked away.鈥�

Firefighters walked the man to a gurney as he faded in and out of consciousness, sweat dripping down his face. He became combative and shoved first responders away, insisting that he did not need help as he unbuckled himself from the gurney. He stormed away moments later.

First responders said that it鈥檚 common for a person to become aggressive when they are being treated for an overdose.

As New Mexico continues to grapple with an opioid crisis, firefighters said they鈥檙e expecting to continue responding to overdose call after overdose call and do the best they can. It鈥檚 finding a cure for the root cause of the epidemic that has proven difficult.
