New Mexico Forest Fires

Recommended Posts

It sounds like New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado are already having bad forest fires.  My Daughter and a couple of her helitack crew left this morning, with their Blackhawk, to go down to New Mexico to help out.  If you see a woman wearing yellow & green nomex, with a Boise State t-shirt, be nice, she's there to help you!  If not, proceed at your own peril, she's tough and isn't afraid to throat punch people!

Looks like the Ute Park one is the most recent. Not very far from my Mom's house. Ute Park is where the Philmont Scout Ranch is. Lots of great memories of that place. Hope they can get them out quick and your daughter stays safe!

Probably gonna be another bad summer for fires.

I drove by the Ute Park fire on Friday and our way up to Denver for a baseball tournament. Heavy smoke and poor visibility on I 25. 14 buildings on Philmont have burned. The rains must have helped some because it didn’t look too bad coming back last night.

Very dry in NM this year. It looks to be a bad summer for fires.
