Every year there are wildfires in New Mexico. Two years ago this month I was evacuated due to a wildfire. I was displaced from my home for over a week.
Right now there's a wildfire at Thompson Ridge. It was started by a downed power line. What I don't understand is that the fire two years ago was caused by the same thing. You'd think the power company would be responsible for maintaining a clear path under the lines so this would be prevented. I just don't get it.
The fire is known as the Thompson Ridge fire - the Ridge where it started. Some people have been evacuated from their homes since last Saturday (and possibly last Friday).

Oh Kay, how awful! Hope it gets put out soon and that you and everyone else nearby are safe.
Love and hugs, Di xx
Hi Kaye, we also have wild fires here, ours are mostly started from lightening. They never get to close to us, but the smoke drifts in with the wild, and is sometime hard to breathe. I agree that if yours is started from the power lines, then there is something they could do to prevent it happening again. Please take care of yourself . . . I am adding you to my prayers.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Stay safe Kay and all your neighbours too.

wow, scary pictures, I'd hate to be in the path of that! Hope noone gets hurt!!!! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
Oh, I hope you don't get evacuated. I'm totally with you on the power folks keeping the areas under the lines clean. They have to know this happens. Guess they are like everyone else, budget cuts. Please stay safe. Hugs & prayers too. TFS
Hope you are ok. I know how awful these fires can be (having had my friend lose her home) as I witnessed the devastation to a mobile home park a few years ago. Thankfully I have not been involved in one on my many visits.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and with all the poor people whose homes are in danger. As you so rightly say God Bless the Firefighters.
Love
