New Mexico Superintendent of Insurance Russell Toal is reminding New Mexicans that the wildfire season is upon us. “The dangers of wildfire in drought-parched New Mexico cannot be underestimated. This is the time to make sure your insurance is adequate, to prepare your property, practice fire prevention and have a plan if evacuation is necessary,” said Superintendent Toal.

CALL FOR HELP

Make sure that everyone in your household knows who to call for help if there is a fire. Are you in a larger city that uses 911? Or do you have a local volunteer fire department that you can call? Make sure that your family members know-how and who to call, with those numbers highlighted on cell phones and posted near any landlines. Check with your county government on what local fire department serves your area and make sure that you have that number available in case of an emergency.
