The ongoing South Fork and Salt wildfires in Ruidoso, New Mexico, are having a profound impact on our communities. As these fires rage on, they disrupt the lives of many families, and the need for support has never been greater.

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by this tragedy, and we dedicate ourselves to providing the necessary support to help our community recover and rebuild.
PVP’s Commitment to Aid
Pecos Valley Production fully supports our community during these challenging times. In response to the ongoing wildfires, we have issued an official statement to address the situation and outline our efforts.

Safety & Prevention
Everyone must follow safety guidelines to help prevent further wildfires. Simple actions can make a significant impact in protecting our forests and communities. Whether you’re at home or enjoying the outdoors, always be mindful of fire safety practices.
Here are a few key guidelines to keep in mind:
- Properly Dispose of Cigarettes or Joints: Ensure that cigarettes or joints are fully extinguished before disposing of them, though refraining from smoking is the safest bet. Never throw them out of car windows.
- Campfire Safety: Only light campfires in designated areas and never leave them unattended. Make sure they are completely out before leaving the site.
- Equipment Maintenance: Maintain your vehicles and equipment to prevent sparks from igniting dry vegetation. Avoid driving over dry grass.
- Fireworks: Refrain from using fireworks. They can easily ignite dry brush and cause large-scale fires.
- Fire Bans: Respect any fire bans or restrictions in your area. These measures prevent accidental fires.
Recall the famous saying, “Remember… Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires.” By staying vigilant and adhering to these safety measures, we can all help protect our beautiful New Mexico landscapes and the well-being of our neighbors.
Wildfires are unpredictable and can spread rapidly, causing immense damage to homes, wildlife, and natural resources. Your efforts in following these safety practices not only protect you and your property but also contribute to the overall safety of our community. Let’s work together to minimize the risk and impact of wildfires.
