Ruidoso’s Deadly Wildfires Under Investigation

EPISODE #144: It has become one crisis after another for the Village of Ruidoso lately. Within hours of the South Fork and Salt Fires sparking, the entire village was under evacuation as the fire quickly spread to homes and businesses. At least two people were killed in the wildfire, around 1,400 structures were burned, and the feds are now offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of person(s) responsible for the fires. This week, Chris & Gabby talk to a 74-year-old veteran who lost his home in the wildfire and stayed behind to help family and neighbors save theirs.
