Join Us! SW Wildfire Awareness Week, March 24-29, 2025

March 24, 2025 by BLM New Mexico 0 Comments

Today kicks off the Southwest Wildfire Awareness Week. This year’s theme is “Spark Safety Not Wildfires,” focused on the three top causes of wildfires in New Mexico: 1)Debris and Open Burning, 2)Campfires, and 3)Equipment/vehicles. Recognizing that conditions in the West remain warm and dry, residents have an opportunity to take proactive steps. From the desert to the mountains, individuals and communities should not feel helpless; you can learn how to take action to prepare and protect your families, properties, and communities.

To learn more or to share ideas locally, you can obtain free Firewise USA® outreach materials, including brochures, posters, and video downloads, from www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/Fire-causes-and-risks/Wildfire/Firewise-USA. Tips on fire prevention can be found on NMfireinfo.com/links/outdoor-fire-safety/one-less-spark/.

SW Wildfire Awareness Week is a public awareness campaign of the federal and state fire agencies in New Mexico and Arizona. Join us in sharing these important messages and resources this week with your family and community!
