Frijoles Fire Forces Evacuations in New Mexico | Albuquerque News

A massive wildfire, the Frijoles Fire, is roaring through northern New Mexico’s Pecos Wilderness, fueled by lightning and now threatening communities near Cundiyo. With over 4,000 acres already scorched, authorities have issued urgent evacuation orders—Cundiyo and Cerro Pinon are “Set” to go, while Camino de Canon is a “Go” zone. Firefighters are racing to build containment lines, drop retardant from the air, and protect homes in vulnerable areas. Smoke blankets the state, triggering air quality alerts for Santa Fe. Evacuees can find shelter at Pojoaque Valley Middle School Gym. Safety remains the top priority as crews battle this fast-moving blaze.
