#Wildfire USDA Assistance to Rebuild/Refurbish in NM

Release No. 11-71-01

For Immediate Release

Federal Assistance Available To Rebuild or Refurbish

Fire Damaged Homes and Communities in Rural New Mexico

USDA Rural Development Programs are available to Fire Victims

(July 5, 2011 Albuquerque, NM) USDA Rural Development State Director Terry Brunner announced today that New Mexico families of moderate to low-income levels whose homes were damage by recent wildfires may apply for federal funds to offset costs to rebuild or repair their homes. As well, communities may apply through USDA to replace or repair community facilities or acquire equipment for community rehabilitation.

Brunner said, “We want to make sure the public knows that USDA can provide financial support to low to moderate income homeowners who are victims of the recent wildfires.  As well, communities may apply for loan and grant funds to repair essential community facilities and acquire equipment needed for their recovery.”

The funding is provided through USDA Rural Development’s regular housing programs.  The financial support is provided as follows: 

·         The 502 Direct Home loan mortgage program provides financial help to low to moderate income residents to buy or build a house with no money down. The 504 Rehabilitation loan and grant program provides funds to low and very low-income rural residents who own and occupy a home in need of repairs.  The funds can be used to improve or modernize a home, or to remove health and safety hazards.  This loan is a 1% loan that may be repaid over a 20-year period.  To qualify the homeowner must be unable to obtain affordable credit elsewhere and must have a very low income. Very low income is defined as below 50 percent of the area median income.

·         The 504 program also provides a once in a life time grant of $7,500 to homeowners who are 62-years old or older to refurbish their homes and that does not have to be paid back. . The grants, however, must be repaid if the property is sold in less than 3 years. Grant funds may only be used to pay for repairs and improvements resulting in the removal of health and safety hazards. A grant/loan combination is made if the applicant can repay part of the cost. Loans and grants can be combined for up to $27,500 in assistance

·         The 502 Guaranteed Rural Housing (GRH) loan program provides a USDA guarantee to lenders for mortgage loans to moderate income families with an affordable home loan also with no money down. 

Loan and Grant Funding is available to communities of 20,000 or less for the building or repair of essential community facilities and the acquisition of equipment.

Anyone seeking financial assistance through these programs should contact the nearest Rural Development field office to set up a meeting. The offices are as follows: 

• Aztec               505-425-3594 Extension 4
• Las Cruces      575-522-8775 Extension 4
• Las Vegas       505-425-3594 Extension 4
• Los Lunas       505-865-4643 Extension 4
• Roswell           575-622-8745 Extension 4

Also, those applying for the 504 rehabilitation funds will be asked to bring the following information to a meeting with Rural Development staff:

·         Warranty deed

·         Verification of Income

·         Cost estimates

·         Proof of age for grant (62 years or older)

·         List of debts presently being paid and account numbers and addresses of accounts

·         Checking and savings account numbers

·         Photo Id

·         Income tax records for most recently filed income tax

·         Property tax information

USDA Rural Development’s mission is to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for rural residents. Rural Development fosters growth in homeownership, finances business development, and supports the creation of critical community and technology infrastructure. Further information on rural programs is available at any local USDA Rural Development office or by visiting USDA Rural Development’s web site at http://www.rurdev.usda.gov

#WallowFire Final Update from Wallow Fire Area Command

Final Wallow Fire Update

from Wallow Fire Area Command

Day 35

July 4, 2011 

                          

Fire Facts:

Location:  - Apache, Navajo, Graham, and Greenlee, Counties, Arizona;  Catron County, New Mexico	Injuries to Date: 16
Fort Apache Indian Reservation,  San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation	Total Personnel: 579 Includes 0 hotshot crews; 8 handcrews
Date Started: 05/29/2011 Cause: Human – under investigation	Residences: 32 destroyed; 5 damaged
Size:  538,049 acres total; 15,407 acres in N.M.	Commercial Property: 4 destroyed
Percent Contained: 95% Resources: 2 Helicopter;    26 Engines; 10 Water Tenders; 9 Dozers	Outbuildings: 36 destroyed; 1 damaged Vehicles: 1 destroyed

Since the Wallow fire started on May 29, 2011 the fire suppression and repair activities have been managed by a series of fire teams from throughout the United States.  Due to the great work these teams and all of the other resources assigned to the fire have done, the fire was previously turned back to the White Mountain Apache Tribe and will be turned back to the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest on July 5, 2011 to continue patrolling, mopping up and repairing areas of the fire damaged by fire suppression activities.  For further information contact:

·         Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest at 928-333-6263 or go to their web site at http://tinyurl.com/6fzvyax.

·         White Mountain Apache Tribe at 928-338 2502 or go to their web site at http://www.wmat.us.

Giving the management responsibilities back to the forests does not mean the fire is completely out.  Smoke may continue to be visible from interior fuels burning until a season ending rain event occurs.

Today both Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) crews and fire crews continue to remove woody debris from the East and West forks of the Little Colorado River.  Hazard tree removal continues on FR 81 in Auger Canyon, which was severely burned. “Feller-buncher” machinery and saw teams are removing dead trees that could fall across the road. The trees are placed in piles for removal at a later time.                       

High pressure over the area will continue to feed moisture into the region.   Moisture is moving over southern Apache and Navajo counties and will have the best chance for thunderstorm activity. These thunderstorms may create localized flash flooding particularly within or adjacent to the burn area.  Take appropriate precautions if a thunderstorm occurs in your vicinity.  Today’s temperatures will range from 76-85 degrees with 4-8 mph southwest wind.  Relative humidity will be near 20%.  There is a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

Special Information:

·          Fourth of July fireworks at Sunrise Ski Area and Resort are cancelled.

·         Though the sale of ground and hand-held fireworks and their use in some locations is now legal in Arizona, please remember, fireworks are not permitted on public lands at any time.

·         The July 4^th weekend is upon us and besides the hazards presented by elk and other wildlife on the roads and highways be aware of heavy holiday traffic in the area.  Watch your speed and drive defensively.  Remember that the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest is asking that speed be held down to a maximum of 50 mph during dusk to dawn and at night.  

·         An Individual Assistance Service Center (IASC) is available for all evacuated Arizonans to access information to assist in their personal recovery from the fire. It is located at the Round Valley Public Library, 179 S Main, Eagar, Ariz. The hours of operation are: Tuesday through Thursday, July 5-7th 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. and July 8th, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.  The facility will be closed Monday, July 4th.

There is a lone heat source southwest of the fire just 1.5 miles inside the Forest boundary and the Arizona state line at the top of Keller Canyon at -109 4' 8.8", 33 28' 36.4".
There is still a lot of residual heat at the top of the drainage above KP Cienega Campground below the ridge and Route 666.  There is no intense heat polygon because there was just a few areas of scattered heat and isolated heat sources.  The perimeter did not change.

IR flyover comments:

There is still a lot of residual heat at the top of the drainage above KP Cienega Campground below the ridge and Route 666.  There was still a little active fire in the Stray Horse area on the southern tip.  This was a a pocket of heat at the top of Lengthy Canyon on the east side of the creek away from the perimeter where it was burning last night.  The only growth of the fire was along Fishhook Creek.  There was a pocket of heat along Foote Creek just up-river fron Balke Crossing above the Blue River.  Quite a different fire than a few days ago.

There were three isolated heat sources outside the west edge of the fire on the shore of Drift Fence Lake which is about a mile away from Reservation Ranch (and bull farm [map calls it the Insemination Station]).  There was also an isolated heat source 4 miles south of the fire just southeast of Honeymoon Camp Ground at -109 27' 58.6", 33 27' 42.9".

From IR log comments:
06/27/2011 0400

This was the first look at the fire with no other initial perimeter to go on. Rough perimeter posted at 0500, then rest of shapefiles plus new perimeter posted later. On NE edge intense heat is 0.3 miles from Water Canyon and Ponderosa Campground.

Area of Intense heat in Frijoles Canyon just south of Burnt Mesa.

On SE edge of fire Intense heat in Capulin Canyon, Intense heat has reached San Miguel ruins, Sanchez Canyon, Eagle Canyon, and Cochiti Canyon, and up on to Horn Mesa.

On SW edge, intense heat is almost to Woodard Ridge.

West edge of fire is 0.3 miles from Los Griegos and 0.7 miles from Cerro Pelado Lookout.

On Northern edge, heat has crossed North of Route 4 just East of Las Conchas Campground but still south of East Fork of the Jemez. Mostly the heat is south of Route 4.

Isolated heat sources north of burnout are suspect and should be checked.

There is still a lot of residual heat at the top of the drainage above KP Cienega Campground below the ridge and Route 666. d. There was still a little active fire in the Stray Horse area on the southern tip. There was a a pocket of heat at the top of Lengthy Canyon on the east side of the creek away from the perimeter. The only growth of the fire was into Twin Springs Canyon. There was intense heat in this area and a lot of residual heat where it burned last night. The rest of the fire was pretty quiet including the arm north of Luna. Using the AllZones perimeter dated 2011/06/26 at 11:13, I made one island larger and got rid of several others. The overall affect was a net gain of only 5 acres to the entire fire.

Wallow Fire photo by Jason Coil

The kind of fire like this, one that burns everything including tree tops (crown fire), is not a "healthy" forest fire.  It is not a fire that trees, wildlife or forage benefits from, because fires like this kill everything they burn and they sterilize the soil.

We cannot go back to "pre-human" days for forests, since they have grown to today's condition over centuries of use by humans.  Pre-human" times were different times - different climate, different animal and plant species.  There is no going back.

Given the current unhealthy state of forests of the Southwest that end up with catastrophic wildfires like the Wallow Fire, we need a change in forest management.  Please let your state and federal legislators know that you want a change in forest management and you want it now.

Significant Events: Resources successfully held constructed line in Branch VI and VIII and kept the fire north of Blue Ridge Creek. At 0800 hours today, the evacuation status for the Blue River area was changed from mandatory to area open to residents only. Remarks: New Mexico Congressman Pearce visited Zone 2 ICP and portions of Branch VIII. Reported acres in box 15 reflect Arizona 521,819 and New Mexico 15,407. Contingency planning is in progress to address concerns on the southern portion of the fire. Hwy 191 remains closed from Alpine mile marker 176 to north of Clifton mile marker 253. Percent contained as listed in Box 16 is calculated based on direct line construction. Since the Branch VIII strategy is to go indirect, e.g., along the Blue River drainage, the actual percent contained, based on this strategy, is higher than is reported. For this reason, the percent contained remained at 48%, even though resources made good progress with containment in Branch VI. Observed Fire Behavior: In Branch VIII, interior burnout continued but no significant fire behavior occurred due to aerial suppression efforts. In Branch VI only scattered heat and smoldering was observed. Planned Actions: In Branch VIII, resources will continue to strengthen and hold constructed line. Resources will continue construction of indirect line and prepare for burnout in Div. P from E. Hwy 191 toward the Primitive Area boundary in the Strayhorse drainage area. In Branch VI resources will patrol Alpine and west of Luna along Road 19 and 180, San Francisco River and JJ Ranch.
