Safety & Etiquette
Fire Water Lodge Safety Tips
The geothermal water arrives at 105 to 108 degrees Fahrenheit, toward the warmer end of the comfortable soaking range for most healthy adults. The water is odorless, contains no sulfur, and has a mineral composition that includes sodium, potassium, magnesium, lithium, and iron. No chemicals are added. Always test the temperature before immersing and limit soak duration if you feel light-headed or overheated. Exit the tub slowly to avoid dizziness when standing, and sit for a moment at the tub edge before fully standing. Stay well hydrated before and after each soaking session.
Pregnant women and visitors with cardiovascular conditions, high blood pressure, or other relevant medical issues should consult a physician before using high-temperature mineral baths. The private nature of the tubs means no staff monitoring during your soak; take extra care with wet surfaces and tub edges when entering and exiting. The tub materials vary by room, so check the entry method for your specific room on arrival. Do not leave the tub unattended with the water valves fully open, as the tub can overfill, and confirm the drain is functioning before leaving the water running.
The lodge operates a largely contactless system; a phone number is available for emergencies and is listed on the official website. The property is in downtown Truth or Consequences within easy reach of town services, restaurants, and emergency facilities. Reservations are required for both lodging and spa services. Confirm all details through the official website at firewaterlodge.com before arrival. Pets are welcome on the property but must be kept under control at all times.
