This is a prime example of why more people need to get more prepared and think about "Emergency Preparedness Management" for both your home and vehicles. I am a RU-vidr under my Full-Name with the same profile picture as this post with 45 videos covering 25 different category topic subjects sharing my personal knowledge and experiences with others to help others improve their adult lives if I can. I've got videos on building yourself a high quality 24-72 Hour Survival Bug Out Bags, Home and Vehicle Preparedness and Readiness advice videos, several Financial Literacy advice videos, a dozen Cooking Creation Recipes videos, and more!
Local TV Stations here in NM did in fact do a public service announcement about 2 months before fire season started and also a recommendation by the USFS that all people living in the mountains create a 200 foot firebreak around their structures. In all news videos that I have seen about this fire, that was not done. I'm sorry for their losses but, the pine cones and pine needles will continue to fall as long as those trees are alive, raking up the landscape and cutting the grasses (they will grow back too) and cutting down all trees in that 200 foot radius. Building homes in a woody mountain setting could have been built out of Rammed earth, adobes, stone, block, and look for flame retardant or flame proof building Materials and always have a steel roof. Build the home underground, very warm in the cold winter and very cool in the hot summers.
@@scuss2 article said he was waiting for a ride. Brenda Dawes, head of band, called him. Don't know why he didn't go get him. Brendan Dawes Band has played in ruidoso for years. May not been any motorists by the time he left because of the evacuation. Maybe all 🏎️ already. 🙏💙🙏
