Sacaton Fire Burns Through Tough Terrain | Albuquerque News

The Sacaton Fire rages on, now in its 15th day and burning over 9,000 acres in New Mexico’s rugged Gila Wilderness — a tinderbox made worse by drought and past wildfires. Firefighters face steep terrain, dry fuels, and no safe evacuation routes, forcing them to rely on air tankers and strategic ground efforts. A historic 1930s-40s Apache Cabin was lost to the flames, deemed too dangerous to defend, while the Willow Creek Subdivision remains evacuated. With zero percent containment and no relief in sight, this fire is set to burn for weeks — and biologists brace for damage to endangered Gila trout.
