The American Red Cross New Mexico Chapter is on scene assisting 48 adults displaced from 24 apartment units, after an explosion late this morning near the area of W. Chuska St. in Aztec, NM. Several Volunteers from the New Mexico Red Cross Disaster Action Team will provide emergency needs and comfort of all displaced.

Throughout the standoff, the Farmington community was very supportive, and FPD would like to thank them. St. Mary’s Church provided shelter to those displaced from their home due to this incident. Farmington Municipal School staff stayed late to keep children from evacuated homes, until a parent or guardian could pick them up. McDonalds and Domino’s donated food and drinks to the officers on scene and to those who were evacuated from their homes. San Juan County Office of Emergency Management and American Red Cross also provided assistance to evacuees. 

The City will retain its current 5% ownership in the plant.
