City of Los Lunas Fire Dept---Community Preparedness and Fire Safety Classes
Los Lunas, New Mexico is unique in its 'closeness'. At least twice a month, we hold community preparedness and fire safety classes, and I'm always surprised by the attendance. Its a community that truly cares for one another. Since our peak wildfire season seems to have passed now, our focus will lean more toward arroyo safety. All too often people find themselves tempted to enter an unsafe area such as a ditch.

Would you do this type of event again?
Flash flooding in these areas is a weekly event. It will be our mission over the next month to widen our awareness base and educate our community on the hazards and pitfalls of using these areas for play. These areas, when used safely and respectfully can and are fun and relaxing. Knowing those boundaries and the dangers that can be present is paramount to our community. We will keep you all abreast of our upcoming events and the effectiveness of them!
