El equipo desplego un dron para operaciones contraproducentes que crearon un espacio defendible para que los bomberos protegieran a las comunidades y mitigaran el comportamiento extremo del fuego.

A virtual community meeting was held at 8PM last night on Santa Fe National Forest Facebook page. If you missed it the video recording is available at https://www.facebook.com/santafeNF/
Highlights: Fire activity increased along the northern edge of the fire perimeter Friday and Saturday. This became the most active area on the fire and the focus of firefighting efforts. The team deployed a drone for backfiring operations which created a defensible space for firefighters to protect communities and mitigate extreme fire behavior. Fire activity around most of the perimeter remains low with heightened activity along the northern edge. Firefighters patrolled this northern area to ensure that the fire stays within the current footprint. Firefighter and public safety remain our number one priority. We are focused on suppressing the Hermits Peak Fire as quickly and safely as possible and protecting nearby communities.
Operations: Firefighters continue to build containment around the fire increasing to 46% yesterday and through the evening. Fire behavior has moderated though there is still potential for increased activity today due to dry winds and dry fuels. As the winds moderate, firefighting aircraft are available and flying to support operations on the ground with water drops and reconnaissance flights.
Evacuations: The San Miguel County Sheriff’s Office continues to lift several evacuation orders using the Ready, Set, Go! system. For more information and details on evacuation orders, please direct the public to the link above. San Ignacio, County Road A3A, Canoncito and Pendaries Village are still in GO, mandatory evacuation status.
Weather: A Red Flag Warning remains in effect over the fire area for the 8th consecutive day. Warmer temperatures are expected, and winds are expected to be sustained 30-40 mph. Relative humidity will remain in the single digits, with very little recovery overnight.
Restrictions: The Santa Fe National Forest has issued a closure order to protect public health and safety during fire operations on the Hermits Peak Fire. The full closure order and map are available at https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/santafe/home. A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in place over the area, which includes unmanned aircraft, or drones. More information on the dangers drones pose to wildland firefighting aircraft and personnel on the ground can be found at: www.nifc.gov/drones.
Smoke: Smoke from the Hermits Peak Fire may be visible from Gallinas, El Porvenir, San Pablo, Mineral Hill, San Geronimo, Gascon, Pendaries, Rociada, Mora, Ledoux, Las Vegas, and along the I-25 corridor. Smoke-sensitive individuals and people with respiratory problems or heart disease are encouraged to take precautionary measures. An interactive smoke map at https://fire.airnow.gov/ allows you to zoom into your area to see the latest smoke conditions.
Future Fire Information: The Hermits Peak Fire Information office hours (8:00 AM – 8:00 PM), phone number (505-663-6334), and email address (2022.hermitspeak@firenet.gov) will remain the same after the transition to the Type 1 Team.

Las principales áreas de enfoque son las partes de línea de fuego más cercanas a las comunidades. Los bomberos trabajarán a lo largo de la esquina suroeste del incendio para extinguir cualquier calor persistente cerca del talón del incendio. Esto creará un espacio defensivo para El Porvenir, Porvenir Canyon, Lower Canyon Road, y Gallinas. En el norte y noreste los bomberos están fortaleciendo las líneas de contención cerca de San Ignacio, La Canadá, y Las Tusas.
Evacuaciones: La Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de San Miguel ha emitido varias órdenes de evacuación usando el sistema Ready, Set, ¡Go!

Highlights: The Southwest Area Type 1 Incident Management Team 1 assumed command of the Hermits Peak Fire on Friday, April 15, 2022, and continued containment efforts overnight, increasing total containment to 33%.

Operations: Although fire spread has all but halted, there is still potential for increased activity today due to dry winds and dry fuels. As the winds moderate, firefighting aircraft have begun to support operations on the ground with water drops and reconnaissance flights. Main areas of focus are parts of the Fireline closest to communities. Firefighters will be working along the southwestern corner of the fire to extinguish any lingering heat near the heel of the fire. This will create defensive space for El Porvenir, Porvenir Canyon, Lower Canyon Road, and Gallinas. In the north and northeast, firefighters are fortifying containment lines near San Ignacio, La Canada, and Las Tusas.
