FIRST COMES THE FIRE … NOW THE FLOODING. SOME RESIDENTS OF THE MANZANO MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY OF CHILILI PUT SANDBAGS OUT ON SUNDAY WHEN WATER CAME RUSHING ALONG THE BURN SCAR LEFT BY LAST MONTH’S DOG HEAD FIRE. WITH THE MONSOON SEASON RAINS JUST GETTING UNDERWAY, OFFICIALS ARE OFFERING FREE SANDBAGS AT FIRE STATION 41 IN TIJERAS. KOB-TV REPORTS THAT AN ARROYO TOOK MUCH OF THE EXTRA WATER BUT SOME RESIDENTS ARE PLANNING ON TRYING TO MAKE THE ARROYO LARGER TO PROTECT THEIR HOMES AS RAINS ARE PREDICTED IN PARTS OF THE STATE BEGINNING MONDAY.
