Public meetings set on Horseshoe II post-fire hazards

We just heard from the Coronado National Forest that the public is invited to attend public meetings hosted by the Natural Resources Conservation District on Wednesday, July 13, at 6:00 p.m. (Arizona time), at the Rodeo Community Center, in Rodeo, New Mexico, and Thursday, July 14, at 6:00 p.m. at the Sunizona Ash Creek Community Center which is located on Sunizona Drive behind the Mustang Mall in Sunizona. The Horseshoe 2 BAER (Burn Area Emergency Response) Team assessment findings will be presented at these two public meetings.
