Beehive Fire Grows in New Mexico | Santa Fe News

Beehive Fire in New Mexico has exploded over 4,170 acres in just a few days, with crews still scrambling to contain it—217 firefighters battling fierce winds and unpredictable behavior. Aircraft are dropping water to cool hotspots, while the Northern New Mexico Type 3 Team now leads operations. Hikers? Stay away from Hopewell Lake and the Continental Divide Trail section near the Rio Grande National Forest. Winds may ease Tuesday, but crews are focused on securing lines and building new ones on the south and southwest flanks. Fire restrictions have jumped to Stage Two—smoke’s thick on highways 64 and 285, visibility’s a concern. Stay clear and stay safe.
