Join neighbors across the Village of Ruidoso on Saturday, May 17, 2025, for Wildfire Community Preparedness Day, officially proclaimed by Mayor Lynn Crawford. Ruidoso is recognized as the number one at-risk community in New Mexico for catastrophic wildfire. This day is a vital opportunity for residents, neighborhoods, and businesses to take proactive steps in reducing wildfire risk, improving property defensibility, and building a more fire-adapted community.

Everyone is encouraged to participate through individual or group efforts—clearing brush, creating defensible space, and learning how to prepare for wildfire emergencies. Let’s work together to keep Ruidoso safe.
