In this week’s episode, we’re talking about the recent wildfires that have plagued the residents in and around Ruidoso, in the Lincoln National Forest. The McBride Fire, which ignited on a windy Tuesday afternoon near Ruidoso's middle school, has since destroyed more than 200 homes — most notably in Gavilan Canyon — and claimed the lives of two people. And, as of Friday morning, the fire remained 0% contained — despite favorable weather conditions Thursday. That had improved to 56% by Sunday morning.
We're joined by Las Cruces Sun-News reporter Justin Garcia, who covers breaking news and public safety for the newspaper, as well as Alexander Meditz, a Ruidoso resident who was forced to evacuate and later returned to the fire-zone to help other residents.
Alexander's home was spared. Some of his neighbors weren't nearly as fortunate.
