Monsoon season has arrived in #NewMexico & that means sudden, often dangerous flash flooding. @ChrisMcKeeTV & @gburkNM sat down with @abqfire to discuss what goes into high-stakes swift water rescues & why people get trapped in arroyos. #NewMexicoNewsInsidersPodcast

Take a look back & take a ride with Captain Otero on his final shift with AFR. Captain Otero was truly a master of the craft & will leave as a legend. Hear his farewell dispatch & some thoughts on 25 years in the fire service. Enjoy your retirement Captain. #abqfirerescue

AFR Chief Emily Jaramillo had a plan to improve response by changing how resources are dispatched - but @cabq City Councilors quashed that plan in a 7-2 vote. This week on #NewMexicoNewsInsiders w/ @ChrisMcKeeTV & @gburkNM why the chief thinks this is problematic. @abqfire
