About The Spark

The Spark: Wildfire Preparedness is Year-Round is a unified, statewide messaging campaign that promotes year-round wildfire preparedness through consistent and coordinated outreach each month. It is produced by a core group of partners, including FACNM, BLM–New Mexico, NM State Forestry Division, USDA Forest Service Southwestern Region, Forest Stewards Guild, US Department of Interior, and the New Mexico Forest and Watershed Restoration Institute (NMFWRI).

The bulletin below is designed to communicate wildfire topics to broad audiences, with this month focusing on how weather conditions trigger wildfire-related prevention actions including red flag warnings, fire weather watches, and public safety power shutoffs.
