New Mexico — Wildfire Infrastructure Damage Loans: New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has signed into law a zero-interest loan package designed to help public entities repair or replace infrastructure damaged by wildfire.

The law was passed by the New Mexico Legislature as a response to the Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon fire. It became the largest wildfire in New Mexico history and was caused by a controlled burn done by the federal government that got out of control.

The law has $100 million set aside to help counties, cities and municipalities recover from wildfire damages.
