Newbie2012 Report post Posted April 18, 2022 Already two fires here in the Flagstaff region, close to town. Fortunately, crews contained them quickly. With these winds, it won’t take much for a fire to make a run. It’s dry, dry, dry out there! Careful out there during your turkey hunts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted April 18, 2022 Crews fight New Mexico fires as some evacuations lift April 16, 2022 1 of 11 A tree ignites as the McBride Fire spills down a mountainside near Ruidoso, New Mexico, on Wednesday April 13, 2022. Authorities say firefighters have kept a wind-driven blaze from pushing further into a mountain community in the southern part of the state. (Justin Garcia /The Las Cruces Sun News via AP) RUIDOSO, N.M. (AP) — Authorities have lifted some evacuation orders for a mountain community in drought-stricken southern New Mexico as firefighters worked Saturday to contain a wind-driven blaze that killed two people and destroyed over 200 homes. The evacuation orders lifted late Friday covered about 60% of the estimated 4,500 people ordered to leave their homes since the fire started Tuesday, Village of Ruidoso spokesperson Kerry Gladden told The Associated Press on Saturday. Evacuation estimates were previously reported to be around 5,000 people. “The big story is we’re in a re-population mode,” Gladden said earlier during a media briefing. Those evacuation orders remaining in effect may be lifted in coming days, officials said. Those waiting to return included Barbara Arthur, the owner of a wooded 28-site RV park that had wind damage but didn’t burn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

northAZarcher Report post Posted April 19, 2022 Not looking good for north Flagstaff. Sounds like some homes are now on fire and it jumped 89A. The direction it's headed, it might run into the cinder lakes which could be a good thing. The wind is crazy right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
