Highlights: The Southwest Incident Management Team 5 returned to take command of the Calf Canyon incident on Monday, September 5. Team 5 is glad to be back and serving the local communities once again. Private landowners whose property received damage due to fire suppression operations will have until September 12 to utilize the online Private Land Suppression Repair Survey. Just the online option will be discontinued. The Private Land Suppression Repair phone line will remain open for new and existing suppression repair requests.
TAOS, NM – August 27, 2022 – The Santa Fe and Carson national forests, along with the Interagency Management Team assigned to the Calf Canyon Fire, are working to find solutions to continually reopen areas of the forests as suppression repair work is completed and weather patterns change over the burn area. A third reduction just took place on the Carson National Forest last week with another one anticipated possibly for this week.
Highlights: Repairs are nearing completion on the southern end of the fire area. Continued cooperation from the public has helped the firefighters complete their repair work with maximum efficiency and safety. Incoming favorable weather into next week is expected to provide better conditions to increase the pace of repair activities.
