The wildfires, which have burned for over five weeks, includes one that is the second-largest in the New Mexico's history.
A haze of wildfire smoke hangs over the Upper Rio Grande valley and the mesa-top city of Los Alamos, N.M., on Thursday, May 12, 2022. Public schools and many businesses were closed as a wildfire crept closer to the city and companion national security laboratory. Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are using supercomputers and ingenuity to improve wildfire forecasting and forest management amid drought and climate change in the American West.
That fire has since merged with another blaze and grown to 437 square miles . The 5-week-old combined fire for a time threatened the small New Mexico city of Las Vegas before being stopped just outside town in the past week. Fire crews continue to work to keep the fire from multiple rural communities.
Nationwide, more than 2,000 square miles have burned so far this year — the most at this point since 2018, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.In Colorado, a fire burning southwest of Colorado Springs grew to 1.5 square miles overnight and is 10% contained, officials from the Teller County Sheriff’s Office said Saturday morning.
Officials say the fire could continue to grow as gusts are expected to reach as high as 35 mph . Winds are expected to die down around 2 p.m. which could help firefighting efforts.
