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. This month’s issue features the story of a New Mexico teenager who joined her local volunteer fire department at 14 and highlights the ongoing need by departments for more support as rural volunteer departments are often first on scene for fires, car crashes, and other emergencies in remote areas across the state.
