ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – District Commander Lt. Col. James Booth recognized geographer Doug Walther for his GIS support to local fire and emergency management services, Oct. 3, 2016. The local fire/EMS community sought out assistance in creating a map book of the local Bosque area with all known hazards, routes, and fire hydrants identified. For half the cost of a commercial contract, Walther and the District supported the local services in order to allow them to effectively fight fires in the Bosque areas.
