Acres: 17,413

Start Date: 6/25/2025

Completion: 78 %

Location: Located in the Coyote Ranger District, 8 miles north of New Mexico State Road 96 and west of the Chama River Canyon Wilderness.

Personnel: 66                    Resources: 1 crew, 2 helicopters, 4 engines, 1 water tender

Highlights: A local Type 4 team from the Santa Fe National Forest is now managing the fire. Yesterday’s increased humidity and lower temperatures reduced fire behavior to creeping and smoldering. This allowed firefighters to make good progress strengthening existing containment lines and continuing suppression repair work.

Today, firefighters with the assistance of aerial support will continue to patrol and monitor the fire lines while suppression repair activities move forward.

Weather and Smoke: Scattered to numerous storms are predicted for the area today with highs in the mid 80’s and humidity dropping into the high teens. Smoke will continue to be present as interior pockets of unburned fuels are consumed. For the most up to date smoke information, visit https://fire.airnow.gov/.
