04-13-2022 Ruidoso,NM - McBride Fire

[@royrice8597]

Tip to PNM: Help prevent forest fires! Cut the power next time we have 80 mph winds. We all would appreciate it!!! Now no power for 27 hours......

[@fkyboy76]

This town needs a MAJOR grid overhaul.. Last year I put out a grass fire that almost turned into this scenario... Also 80mph wind gusts, 50 sustainable... ALL sparked from hydro wires hitting trees and sparks flying.. The lines need clearance in a place with winds like this... It isn't just one neighborhood, it is the ENTIRE town..

[@miguelg2650]

There was a raging fire that is now thankfully 80% contained that could've killed people, burned down people's homes. Your bitchin about power and winds? Some people have their priorities ass backwards.

With the power cut they weren’t able to even sound the sirens

[@KittyPurrsMistress]

That blaze is burning super hot in certain spots deeper than just the brush.

I hope a fire never enters Ruidoso itself, it is highly dense with homes and businesses. Iam not that far from there.

[@kellybethard30]

This fire started in town, right next to the high school. Over 200 homes lost, 4000 plus evacuated. Ruidoso is in a State Of Emergency

@@kellybethard30 It makes me so sad to hear that. My family vacationed there last November and we loved the area. All of the people we encountered were friendly and the mountain views were absolutely stunning (even with the battle scars still visible from the round of wildfires it had last summer). I wish all Ruidoso residents well and hope the fire is contained quickly!

[@stormwatcher1299]

Please, if you want to fly a drone, don’t because you’re hindering the effort by officials to put the fire out. Just thought I’d put it out there because it’s all over Facebook that someone was doing that & it’s against the law.

It's not often we get New Mexico videos

[@hughjorgan2888]

Think of all the trees, fauna, vegetation and the wild creatures that perished in this fire. Had there not been people living in this area with their needed powerlines and comfy accommodations this tragedy may never have happened.

Mother nature healing herself. It plays a key role in shaping ecosystems by serving as an agent of renewal and changes. Mankind won't be around; we are part of the cleansing of the ecosystem. Mother nature had enough of us.

I understand. But you wouldn't be saying that shit if it was your home. I have friends and family who have lost everything. So stfu on your nature trip homie

[@ettaplace6716]

Looks like such a lovely area 😢

[@dennisdriedger5988]

This kind of low intensity ground fire is healthy for these Ponderosa pine forests. If only it wasn't near populated areas.

[@tre2472]

get ready for flooding when the rains come
