The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Albuquerque District began removing post-wildfire debris in Rociada, New Mexico, Aug. 15, 2022, with help from debris removal experts from the Baltimore, New Orleans, and Los Angeles USACE districts.
Devastating wildfires — the largest in New Mexico’s history — swept through the northern part of the state during spring and early summer this year. Teams are working every day of the week after receiving a mission assignment from FEMA for private property debris removal in San Miguel and Mora counties.
“I try to put myself in the shoes these people who lost their homes to the fires and it’s hard to imagine what they’ve been through,” said Chuck Stodter, mission specialist, USACE-Baltimore District. “To be able to help them, even in a small way, to clean up debris — this is the reason that I work for the Corps. We can help people, and do something impactful.”
