Today, the Southwest Area Incident Management Team One, Emergency Operations Manager Thomas LaPaz, and DRMP Supervisor John Nelson had a productive meeting with Mescalero Tribal President Thora Walsh-Padilla and with the Tribal Admnistrator Brian “Blue” Shendo. They shared valuable insights and strategies regarding the ongoing Seven Springs Fire.
During the discussion, they covered important topics, including the upcoming weather forecast, expected fire behavior, and the strategies in place to manage the situation effectively. This collaboration ensures that we are all informed and prepared as we work together to keep our community safe.
Thank you, President Walsh-Padilla, and the Incident Management Team for your dedication and leadership during this critical time. Let’s continue to support one another!
