Recent history in New Mexico
The 2022 Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire became the largest wildfire in New Mexico's recorded history. Events like these are why fire damage cleanup needs fast, thorough work and careful documentation for insurance.
Wildfire smoke reaching homes
Wildfire smoke in New Mexico can enter homes miles from any flames, leaving fine soot and odor in HVAC systems, insulation, and fabrics. The EPA recommends keeping windows closed and using high-efficiency filters during smoke events, and lingering odor afterward usually means residue that needs professional cleaning.
Dry conditions and grass fires
Dry, windy conditions in New Mexico make brush and grass fires spread quickly toward homes, leaving ash and smoke residue on exterior surfaces and inside attics and vents.
