There's a fire down near Carlsbad Caverns. I think that is being contained faster than they thought it to be. They are having over 100* temperatures with 5% relative humidity and winds about 30-40 mph which is cause for dry lightning. They are hoping nothing will happen.
Then up north near Raton, they have I-25 closed to Colorado due to the fire north of Raton. Seems that they haven't really got a hold on this fire and according to the weather people, it might worsen if they can't get a hold of it. It's just the way the winds will change, or something like that.
Then the Wallow Fire in eastern Arizona is 29% contained!! That's a relief to hear. They kept it around 5-6% for days. So glad to hear the number go up and hope it gets to 100% containment. Those firefighters must be pretty tired fighting that fire since May 29th. We haven't had any smoke in the city for about a week now. Hopefully it stays that way. I really don't care for the smell or the sight of the smoke.
Governor Martinez is pleading with the people in the state to please watch what you do especially if it has to do with matches, cigarettes, etc.
