Sacaton Fire Grows, Evacuations Ordered | Albuquerque News

The Sacaton Fire rages on, now scorching over 8,600 acres and still zero percent contained—threatening homes, historic landmarks, and the Willow Creek community, which is under mandatory evacuation. Firefighters are deploying over 100 new resources, including air tankers dropping retardant to protect neighborhoods and create defensive lines, while preparing for potential water drops and firebreaks to halt the blaze’s advance toward the Hummingbird Fire area. Fire restrictions and bans on open burning are now in effect across the Gila National Forest and parts of Catron County as crews race to contain the growing emergency.
