I live in the WUI north of Taos and have watched big fires burn on three sides of us, including the Taos Pueblo Fire. I organized the members of our road to get Soil and Water funding to create a sheltered fuel break along our road to allow safer egress and ingress in case of fire. I work diligently to keep my 3 acres thinned and hopefully fire safe as well as continue to encourage my neighbors to do what they can.
