THREE SMALL BOSQUE FIRES IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS MEANS THE ALBUQUERQUE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS MOVING ITS BOSQUE PATROLS UP A FEW MONTHS. MELISSA ROMERO WITH A-F-D SAYS THEY USUALLY DON’T START THEM UNTIL THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
ROMERO SAYS CREWS ARE IN BRUSH TRUCKS PATROLLING THE BOSQUE LOOKING FOR ANY FIRES OR SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY. SHE SAYS, IF THEY ENCOUNTER ANY HOMELESS CAMPERS IN THE BOSQUE, THEY’LL NOTIFY APD AND THE OPEN SPACE DEPARTMENT.
SO FAR, NO CAUSES HAVE BEEN DETERMINED IN THE MOST RECENT FIRES.
