Frijoles Fire Finally Stalls | Albuquerque News

Frijoles Fire finally stalls after five days of explosive growth, now holding at 7,794 acres—New Mexico’s largest blaze. Sparked by lightning in remote Pecos Wilderness, it burned through dry brush and dead trees, making containment tough. Crews are building firebreaks along roads and preparing nearby communities and a Boy Scout ranch. With hopes pinned on favorable weather and direct firefighting tactics, smoke drifting into Santa Fe and Taos may soon clear as the fire begins to settle.
