When U.S. President Joe Biden visits New Mexico on Saturday to meet victims of the state's largest ever wildfire, Daniel Encinias hopes to get a chance to ask him for a new house.
Encinias' home and hundreds more in northern New Mexico were torched after controlled burns by the U.S. Forest Service that were meant to reduce wildfire risk ran out of control in April.
"I don't need an apology, I need a home," said Encinias, 55, standing in the ashes of his house next to blackened forest and the recreational vehicle his family of five now lives in. Like many residents in this low-income area of the second-poorest U.S. state, he built his house pay-check to pay-check and has no homeowners insurance.
