Highlights: The Facebook page for official fire information has changed to www.facebook.com/CalfCanyonHermitsPeak. Please follow and reference this new page for video briefings, updates, photos, and live 6:00 PM community briefings. Today the Southwest Incident Management Team 3 (SWIMT3) assumed command of the lower half of the fire. The SWIMT 1 took management of the northern half, and the California IMT 2 will work to the north on a bigger-picture strategic plan for controlling this fire. The fire will remain active, with critically dry fuels and near-record temperatures. Both zones of the fire will continue to have heavy air support as conditions allow. Residents of San Miguel, Mora, Taos, and Colfax Counties should remain on high alert for changes to evacuation statuses and road closures.  

Operations:

South: On the east perimeter, crews are monitoring and patrolling to address any issues. Interior fuel pockets continue to burn out but have not threatened any containment lines. Firefighters are addressing any remaining issues in the Mineral Hills and San Geronimo areas. The fire continues to burn below Barillas Peak on the southwest, and a dozer line to the Pecos Wilderness boundary is complete. Crews will try to fight the fire directly as it moves into an area they’ve identified as having a high probability of success. Aircraft will continue to be critical to these efforts. Structure protection groups remain in Bull Canyon, clearing fuels, setting up sprinkler systems, and enacting other protective measures. The fire continues to back slowly down into Bull Creek and Elk Creek into an old fire scar. Around Rociada and Gascon, the fire is moving away from homes, and structure protection groups remain in place. The fire continues to push into the wilderness in areas on the west side. 

Central (SWIMT1): The fire was active yesterday from the Angostura Trail to Serpentine Lake. Structure protection work continues in the Angostura community. The fire continues to move around Chacon, Holman, Cleveland, and Mora, but crews are working to keep it away from structures and putting in additional firelines. Near Guadalupita and Sierra Bonita, firefighters, dozers, and helicopters are trying to keep the fire at higher elevations to minimize impacts to these communities. Structure protection groups have a heavy presence in Highway 518, 121, 434, and 442 corridors, around Black Lake and up to Angel Fire. Fire managers are coordinating with local and mutual aid firefighters around Black Lake in these efforts.

North (CIMT2): In the north zone, planning is underway to look at additional locations where containment line may be constructed. This does not mean the fire will get to this area, but we are taking the opportunity to be proactive and prepared in advance of any threat.

Operations: On the north, structure protection crews are working around Angostura to prepare homes and values as fire pushes toward the Angostura Trail today. Firefighters are working in the areas of Chacon, Holman, Cleveland, and Mora along the fire's edge to mitigate impacts. Yesterday, the fire stayed out of the Chacon valley as it moved north. Above Mora, crews are constructing additional dozer lines as the fire backs down Comanche Canyon. Firefighters continue to work in the Highway 518, 121, 434, and 442 corridors up to and around Black Lake. Today, the fire is predicted to end up near Guadalupita South, and structure protection groups are doing lots of work there. Crews worked west from the Cooks Peak Fire and east from the Hermits Peak and Calf Canyon fire to open dozer lines and connect roads, meeting in the middle. Towards Highway 442, crews are finishing tying in line with Martinez Ranch Road.
On the south, crews are monitoring around Mineral Hills and San Geronimo to make sure nothing else is threatened. The fire remains active around Barillas Peak. Large and Very Large Air tankers (LATs and VLATs) were able to drop retardant on that line yesterday to assist ground crews. Firefighters are working directly on this edge, and additional lines are being constructed to the south. Crews are also creating a dozer line to the wilderness boundary above Bull Canyon and connecting some roads and trails. The fire has crossed the crest at Elk Mountain and is moving slowly into an old fire scar. There will be a lot of smoke coming from this area. Around Rociada and Gascon, firefighters are still working to secure the fire's edge. The fire continues to move into the Pecos Wilderness in areas along the northwestern side.

News Release from San Miguel and Mora County

LAS VEGAS – Disaster Survivor Assistance (DSA) teams and damage assessment inspectors from FEMA are out in New Mexico communities to help residents get connected with potential assistance.

New Mexico homeowners and renters in Colfax, Lincoln, Mora, San Miguel, and Valencia counties, who sustained damage from wildfires and straight-line winds beginning on April 5 and continuing, could be eligible for help from FEMA.

If you have homeowners or renters insurance, you should file a claim as soon as possible. By law, FEMA cannot duplicate benefits for losses covered by insurance. If your policy does not cover all your damage expenses, you may then be eligible for federal assistance. 

Once residents have completed their application, they should expect a call from an inspector to set up a damage assessment. The phone number may not be a recognized number.  Damage assessments occur once residents apply with FEMA. They are an essential part of the recovery process for those who need to make their homes livable again or have serious personal property loss. Homeowners and renters should make sure their contact information is up to date and have access to a telephone. They will need to have a photo ID and proof of ownership or a lease.

Disaster Survivor Assistance Teams will be moving through affected areas to answer questions about the types of help available, help residents apply for state and federal assistance, update an applicant’s contact information and help with referrals to whole community partners. 

DSA team members wear FEMA shirts and/or vests as well as carry photo identification. Residents should ask to see them. They are currently setup at the Old Memorial Middle School on 947 Old National in Las Vegas.

While residents in all five affected counties can apply for disaster assistance, damage assessments can only be conducted in areas where wildfires are not ongoing. Lincoln and Valencia are currently the only counties not experiencing active fires.

The fastest and easiest way to apply is by visiting disasterassistance.gov/. 

If it is not possible to apply online, call 800-621-3362. The toll-free telephone line operates from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. MDT seven days a week. If you use a relay service, such as video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA the number for that service.

Containment: 29%
Total personnel:  1,832
Start Date:  Hermits Peak: April 6, 2022; Calf Canyon: April 19, 2022
Cause: Hermits Peak: spot fires from prescribed burn; Calf Canyon: under investigation
Location: Located near Gallinas Canyon
Fuels: Heavy mixed conifer, ponderosa pine, brush, and grass

Highlights: Due to this fire's increasing size and complexity, beginning Sunday management will be split into a North and South Zone. The Type 1 Southwest Incident Management Team 1 (SWIMT 1) is returning and will take management of the North Zone. SWIMT 3, currently working with SWIMT 2, will manage the South Zone. SWIMT 2 will transition out after Saturday. An additional Type 1 team from California will begin working further north on a bigger-picture strategy for controlling this fire. These changes will not affect communication to the public; expect to find your information in the same places. The weather is slightly improved with a Fire Weather Watch rather than a Red Flag Warning. However, the relative humidity is critically low, causing continued active fire behavior. Expect to see large smoke columns today. Aircraft flew yesterday and will be up again today as visibility allows. Residents of San Miguel, Mora, Taos, and Colfax counties should remain on high alert for changes to evacuation statuses and road closures.  

Operations: Fire is pushing toward Angostura, and structure protection crews are working to prepare homes and values in the area. Yesterday west winds near Chacon allowed firefighters to construct more fireline around the community. The fire is following the timber fuel and could push across Highway 121 north of Chacon today. Local firefighting resources in Colfax County are coordinating with fire leadership, and structure protection crews are in Highway 518, 121, 434, and 442 corridors up to and around Black Lake. Firefighters, heavy equipment, and helicopters continue to fight spot fires across 434. Fire could end up near Coyote State Park today. The east side from Ledoux to Las Vegas is in patrol status. On the south, near Mineral Hills and San Geronimo, crews have been able to secure the lines and are monitoring and patrolling. Some resources have been moved from this area to other parts of the fire. Yesterday the fire crossed a piece of fireline in the southwest area around Barillas Peak. Large Air Tankers put down retardant to help the firefighters on the ground get a line around it, but night crews had to reevaluate strategy when the diurnal winds shifted. They will continue working on it today. People in Pecos can expect to see more activity at night due to the terrain and night breezes. There has been more activity around Elk Mountain to Gascon as the fire is trying to push upslope into the wind. Crews have been working hard in this area, protecting structures, conducting defensive firing operations, and securing the fire's edge. The fire is still moving into the Pecos Wilderness towards Lone Pine Mesa, Blue Bell Ridge, and further north near Enchantment Lake.

Start Date:  Hermits Peak: April 6, 2022; Calf Canyon: April 19, 2022 
Cause: Hermits Peak: spot fires from prescribed burn; Calf Canyon: under investigation
Location: Located near Gallinas Canyon - Fuels: Heavy mixed conifer, ponderosa pine, brush, and grass

Highlights: This fire is going to keep growing, and more firefighters, heavy equipment operators, support crews, and incident command teams are being ordered. The weather has been unfavorable for weeks, and another Red Flag Warning is in place from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. This will continue to cause extreme fire behavior and rapid growth, especially to the north. Much of the fire's growth is in thick, heavy timber and steep, rugged terrain. Spotting distances could be as far as ½ to ¾ of a mile today. Structure protection crews are moving into new communities likely to be impacted. Yesterday aircraft flew throughout the day. However, they were grounded at times on the south due to winds and on the north due to poor visibility. They plan to be active today as conditions allow. The Temporary Flight Restriction is now 70 miles long and applies to all drones and aircraft not working the fire. Residents of San Miguel, Mora, Taos, and Colfax counties should remain on high alert for changes to evacuation statuses and road closures. 

Operations: With lots of fire over Highway 518 and spreading rapidly, day and night crews are conducting defensive firing operations to reduce fuels ahead of the fire and around homes. Structure protection groups comprised of hand crews, dozers, and engines are still working in the Highway 518, 121, 434, 442 corridors and canyon communities. They are moving further north into communities up to Black Lake and west around Angostura. Fire leadership is working with landowners around Black Lake to scout and locate features like roads to tie lines together and formulate a plan with the highest probability of success. The east side from Ledoux to Las Vegas looks good. Some visible interior pockets of fuel continue to burn out but pose no threat to containment lines. On the south, firelines have held, and the winds are pushing the fire back into itself. Structure protection groups are still working in the area. On the southwest, the fire is backing into the wind, resulting in low rates of spread. More firefighters have been moved to work around Barillas Peak. On the Pecos side, crews are constructing firelines, fighting fire direct where possible, and getting familiar with the terrain and values at risk for developing other strategies. Structure protection crews are working in Upper and Lower Colonias and Bull Canyon if the fire moves in those directions. Around Rociada, firefighters battled fire in an area that flared up yesterday. Crews continue protecting structures, conducting defensive firing operations, and securing the fire's edge in that area. The fire is still moving into the Pecos Wilderness towards Lone Pine Mesa, Blue Bell Ridge, and further north near Enchantment Lake.
