The Jemez Mountains Are On Fire

I figure it was only a matter of time, with the dry windy weather conditions, that there would be a fire in Jemez. The official name of the fire is the Las Conchas Fire and it’s putting on a spectacular smoke display (and not in a good way).

The Pacheco Fire continues to burn near Santa Fe.

The La Conchas Fire now has a Inciweb entry and is already at 3500+ acres.

The Pajarito Mountain ski area web came has live video of the fire.

Pacheco Canyon Fire In Santa Fe, New Mexico

Say hello to New Mexico’s newest fire, the Pacheco Canyon Fire In Santa Fe. The fire was visible from my house in Rio Rancho on the day it started but I haven’t been able to see it since Saturday. On Sunday there was too much smoke from the Arizona Wallow fire to see much of anything.

InciWeb says the fire has burned over 3000 acres and describes it as extreme.
