The Gallup FIre Department is mourning the loss of one of their own.

On Nov. 7 the GFD posted on Facebook announcing the off-duty death of Firefighter / EMT-Intermediate Dominic Sandoval.

The post states:

“Dominic has been an active member of your Gallup Fire Department for seven years and has been a true warrior and protector of our city. Dominic was our brother and we are devastated by this tragic accident. Dominic always had a smile on his face and his laughter was contagious. As a dedicated member of our department Dominic was always wanting to improve not only himself but our department by taking as many classes as he could so he could better serve our city. Dominic you will be missed, rest easy our brother, it is our time to continue with the legacy that you have left.”

A service date and time has not been made as of yet.


The family is accepting donations at the Sandoval residence in Crownpoint. Donations can also be dropped off at Fire Station 1 located at 1800 S. Second St.
