Frijoles Fire Grows in New Mexico Wilderness | Albuquerque News

The Frijoles Fire in New Mexico’s Pecos Wilderness is raging, having scorched 3,000 acres and remaining zero percent contained as of Sunday evening. Sparked by lightning last Tuesday, the blaze roars through rugged terrain near Cundiyo, forcing nearby communities into “Ready” evacuation status and closing NM 503. With 86 firefighters battling from the ground and air support dropping retardant, crews are racing to build containment lines on a treacherous ridge — while smoke drifts into Los Alamos and Espanola. The situation remains fluid as flames push forward in this high-stakes firefight. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
