Cooler last weekend (high 70s & low 80s), but mostly warm. Dry. It’s supposed to continue warm & dry, too. Very June.
Yesterday we received this from Arlene Perea of the Mountainair Ranger District, Cibola National Forest:
“Mountainair Ranger District Fire personnel responded to a wildfire this morning out in the Fox Fuelwood area around Forest Road 275 in the Manzano Mountains. After meeting up with local volunteer crews, the fire was quickly contained at 1-2 acres. A fire investigator is currently on site as the fire is believed to be a human start within an open fuelwood area.
“Special thanks go out to the Torreon and Mountainair Volunteer Fire Departments for their quick response and hard work at containing the fire.”
We are also receiving "red flag alerts” nearly every day now, as it has been breezy-plus.
