Be FIREWISE. Fire and wind are a destructive and deadly combination which is why there are NO BURN warning in Lincoln COunty

Clean pine needles and oak leaves from near your house and woodpile. Trim up the ladder fuel branches on your trees.  Mow long grass & weeds.  Store wood away from your home.  Be sure your equipment has spark arrestors.  Don't weld outside.   We don't want this in the neighborhood.

2 houses in Carrizozo burned last week.  Started from a man burning boxes
