The Las Cocas fire is burning just south of Guadalupita in Mora County. The fire was reported at approximately 5:50 p.m. and is running and smoldering through 75 acres of mixed fuels including grass, pinon and ponderosa pine. The fire was pushed northeast by 11 mph winds from the southwest, however the ridge line has slowed that progression.
A grader line has been established on the fire’s west flank, and no structures are threatened at this time. Multiple resources and personnel are on scene grading and cutting handlines. Forestry Division has an engine posted along the northeast edge to patrol structures. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
