Pray for Ruidoso , offer a hand but be careful
Over 1400 structures gone . Two confirmed deaths . 5,000 acres burnt , and not contained . Such is the status of Ruidoso , New Mexico . One of the most frequently visited resort towns by El Pasoans and west Texans . Many El Paso families have cabins and vacation homes there for years . Many go up to escape the heat or challenge the snow . Others just like to shop or gamble there . And now what will happen to all that ? In a time of drought , fire is a real possibility . Anyone going
to that area see the signs for fire danger . Those signs are up there for a reason . But despite the dangers we all still enjoy getting out into the cool fresh air . As of this editorial Ruidoso ’ s fires are only 31 % contained on one side , 7 % contained on another . While the videos and pictures from space show the fire and smoke clearly the inability to know if your home or vacation place is up or not won ’ t be known for a while . Fires and hot spots still burn . Relief efforts continue and will be
needed for the near future . Determining whether the fire was nature started or not won ’ t be known for a while either . A lot of residents won ’ t have much if anything left . While we send out prayer , we need to also send out help . However you decide to help use caution . Someone ’ s nightmare is breeding grounds for scammers . Know those to whom you are giving . Be aware and give generously . And continue to pray .
