The community of Sandia Heights is a classic wildland-urban interface, meaning our development meets with the undeveloped woodland and vegetative fuels of our neighboring national forest. As a result our community has a moderate to high risk for wildfire. It is comprised of about 2200 properties with fire-favorable topography, geography, biology, meteorology, and demography. There is limited emergency egress with choke-point entrances. We must stay vigilant in doing what we can to prevent wildfires, and be prepared when a wildfire happens.
