Ford Motor Co. is donating a highly customized Ford Bronco to help emergency wildfire crews in New Mexico, the automaker announced Wednesday.
The unique vehicle could offer insight into how its high-tech design and advanced communications gear could have potential for broader use in hot spots such as California, Oregon and Arizona.
The Bronco wildland SUV is going to Bandalier National Monument, a 33,000-acre designated wilderness area that includes ancient native land and sacred sites, about two hours north of Albuquerque.
