Albuquerque Wild Rescue Surge | Albuquerque News

Albuquerque first responders are sounding the alarm as they’ve already handled eight wilderness rescue calls in just eight days—far outpacing their annual average of 30 to 40. With weather shifts, more hikers, and new trails drawing people deeper into the wild, unprepared adventurers are getting lost or hurt. Fire Rescue urges hikers to pack enough water, wear weather-appropriate gear, and keep phones charged—conditions can change drastically from city to mountain. Police are stepping in to locate missing persons and assess mental health needs, while state police search teams are called in for major incidents. Even dogs are getting rescued from rocky foothills—safety and prep matter for everyone, two-legged or four. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
