RESIDENTS OF RIO RANCHO WILL FIND NEW SIGNS AT ACCESS POINTS TO THE BOSQUE. THEY ARE NUMBERED AND CAN BE USED TO ACCURATELY IDENTIFY LOCATIONS OF FIRES SO CREWS CAN RESPOND FASTER.
THE SIGNS CAN ALSO HELP FIRST RESPONDERS FROM OUTSIDE OF RIO RANCHO GET TO PLACES WHERE THEY MIGHT BE NEEDED IN THE EVENT OF A MAJOR FIRE OR INCIDENT. THE SIGNS WERE CREATED BY THE CITY OF RIO RANCHO’S PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
THE ALBUQUERQUE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT HAS HAD A SIMILAR SYSTEM IN PLACE SINCE 2007.
