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. Some wildfires are entirely preventable and this month’s issue focuses on preventing human-caused wildfires by reducing the number of accidental and negligent ignitions. Tips are provided for how to reduce ignitions from common sources such as debris burning, power tools, campfires, vehicles and trailers, and target shooting.
