EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – The recent wildfires in the Ruidoso area have left a trail of devastation, but many individuals have stepped up to support the affected communities. Among them is Logan Fle, a local tattoo artist, who has gone to great lengths to help his neighbors.

Fle, who grew up in the area, felt compelled to take action as he watched his hometown burn.

“It has been a very rough week with the things I have seen. But I want to focus on the love and care we’re giving back to our community and our neighbors in Ruidoso, Lincoln County, and surrounding areas,” Fle said.

Fle has been checking on neighbors’ homes and feeding animals left behind. His videos also include humorous moments to lighten the mood. In one video, he addresses an elk, saying, “Sir, sir, do you need assistance, sir?”

Since the fires began, Fle has driven at least 4,500 miles, visiting around 30 homes daily. He highlights the efforts of first responders and has raised over $50,000 in just 48 hours to support them and those who have lost everything.

“I’ve been tirelessly staying positive, doing our best to make people feel better. My videos were meant to show the houses still standing, not the destruction. But I started receiving requests like, ‘Can you feed my cats? Can you feed my chickens?’ It became a heartfelt mission,” Fle said.

Fle is partnering with Ashley Home Furniture to donate furniture and mattresses to fire victims. He is also working with Polaris Clothing and Gear.
