GET RID OF THE WEEDS AND OTHER GROWTH AROUND YOUR HOME OR OUT-BUILDINGS ON YOUR PROPERTY. THAT’LL HELP KEEP YOUR HOUSE STANDING IN CASE OF A FIRE. EL NINO HAS GIVEN US US A LOT OF RAIN AND SNOW SINCE LAST SPRING.
AND BRENT WACHTER WITH THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBUQUERQUE SAYS IT’S GIVING US A NEARLY NON-EXISTENT FIRE SEASON. IT’S ANOTHER “DOWN” YEAR, JUST LIKE IN 2015 … WHICH WAS ONE OF THE LOWEST ON RECORD FOR NUMBER OF FIRES AND ACRES BURNED.
BUT WACHTER TELLS 770 KKOB THAT OFF-AND-ON DRY SPELLS WILL MAKE ALL THE GROWTH WE’VE SEEN IN THE PAST NINE MONTHS BECOME FUEL FOR FIRES LIKE THE ONE IN ALBUQUERQUE’S BOSQUE LAST WEEKEND.
