Tragedy at Frijoles Fire Crew Member Dies | Albuquerque News

A tragic loss rocked the Frijoles Fire crew as a member died Sunday from a medical incident, prompting the cancellation of a public meeting and deep sorrow from the incident commander, who stressed every team member’s vital role. The Forest Service has withheld the individual’s name pending family notification. With 913 personnel still battling the blaze—now 46% contained—the fire spans 15,200 acres and continues to threaten areas near Gorham Boy Scout Ranch and Cundiyo. While challenges persist, progress is being made on the western flank, with strong mop-up efforts and active suppression on the north and northeast edges as crews build indirect containment lines.
