Wildfire can happen at any time. It\u2019s important for New Mexico residents living near natural areas, known as the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI), to be prepared before a fire happens. Individuals can take steps to make their property and neighborhood safer from wildfire.<\/p>\n

Most human-caused fires are accidental and related to careless disposal of hot coals, ashes, cigarettes, or sparks from equipment. According to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), between 87 and 96 percent of wildfires are caused by people.<\/p>\n

The national Firewise USA\u00ae recognition program provides resources to help homeowners learn how to adapt to living with wildfire. The collaborative approach encourages neighbors to work together on a local level to prevent loss of property and save lives.<\/p>\n
