The Tom Springs Wildfire was called contained on Sunday, May 31. Fire crews reported lines holding with little to no smoke. The final acreage is 3.82 acres.  

Today, firefighters will monitor, patrol, and address isolated heat, especially around heavier fuels.  

The lightning-caused wildfire, first reported on May 29, is located approximately 10 miles northwest of the Village of Pecos in the Pecos Canyon area.  

The Santa Fe National Forest remains in Stage 1 Fire Restrictions due to elevated fire danger. During firefighting operations crews encountered illegal campfires, and all were extinguished. The public is encouraged to mitigate any wildfire risk by following these campfire safety tips.
