Frijoles Fire Doubles to 1,000 Acres | Santa Fe News

The Frijoles Fire has exploded to 1,000 acres in rugged Pecos Wilderness terrain, with zero containment and nearby towns on high alert. A drone sighting forced firefighting helicopters off the air, delaying critical efforts — and the drone operator remains unknown. Crews now number 86, battling flames with bulldozers and assessing homes near vulnerable zones. The fire’s growth is concentrated northeast, smoke blankets valleys, and key roads are shut down. Recreational areas near lakes are warned: stay clear and prepare for evacuation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
