Actualización del día: 6 de junio de 2024

Acres: 7,532                                                                             Fecha de inicio: 16 de Mayo de 2024 

Ubicación: White Mountain Wilderness aproximadamente a 8 millas al norte de Ruidoso 

Personal total: 318                                                                   Causa: Rayo

Combustibles: Arboles/ Hierba/Arbustos                                     Contención: 83%

Recursos: 4 equipos | 12 motores | 2 helicópteros | 2 bulldozers | 1 licitaciones de agua | 3 masticadores

Puntos destacados: Toda la parte oriental del incendio está contenida. Los bomberos siguen trabajando en la reparación de cualquier impacto de los esfuerzos de supresión. Está prevista una reunión virtual de la comunidad esta noche, jueves 6 de junio, a las 19:30 horas. La reunión se retransmitirá en directo a través de la página de Facebook de Blue 2 Fire. El público tendrá la oportunidad de hacer preguntas sobre las operaciones de extinción y la recuperación tras el incendio.

Operaciones: Continúa la reparación del terreno perturbado por el bulldozer y la línea de mano. Los bomberos esparcen semillas de hierba para fomentar la revegetación. Las cuadrillas y los equipos instalan dispositivos de desviación del agua para limitar la erosión. Las excavadoras retiran hileras de matorral de la línea norte del bulldozer. Los masticadores siguen trabajando en el límite del bosque, al oeste de las comunidades. Los drones y las cuadrillas controlan cualquier punto caliente detectable a lo largo del borde del incendio no controlado restante. Las líneas de mangueras y los aspersores se recogen y se preparan para devolverlos a la reserva nacional. A medida que los bomberos terminan su trabajo, abandonan el incidente para volver a casa o dirigirse a otros incendios. Las fuerzas del orden siguen haciendo cumplir el cierre del bosque para que los bomberos puedan terminar su trabajo con seguridad. 

El tiempo: Un cambio significativo en el patrón meteorológico en toda la región dará lugar a condiciones meteorológicas moderadas para los incendios, velocidades del viento más bajas y aumento de la humedad relativa. Aumentan las posibilidades de lluvia húmeda, pero las tormentas pueden traer rayos secos y vientos de salida racheados y erráticos.

Humo: El fuego está produciendo humo mínimo. Las comunidades circundantes verán buen aire. El humo transportado u otras partículas pueden crear cielos brumosos en ocasiones. El mapa interactivo de humo se puede seguir encontrando en fire.airnow.gov/

Cierres: En interés de la seguridad pública, la acampada y otras actividades recreativas en la zona del lago Bonito siguen restringidas debido a las actividades de los bomberos. La orden de cierre del bosque seguirá en vigor para el área silvestre de White Mountain.

Indios Fire acreage remains unchanged

Daily Update – Thursday, June 6, 2024

Acres: 11,500 Start Date: May 19, 2024

Location: 7 miles north of the village of Coyote, NM 

Personnel: 478

Completion: 86% Fuels: Timber

Highlights: Completion has increased to 86% today as crews make more progress toward meeting the objectives
for the Indios Fire. Suppression repair activities continue across the fire area, with a focus on the northwest side.
The incident management team will provide another opportunity for the public to meet with fire managers and ask
questions about the Indios Fire at an open house on Sunday, June 9, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in the lecture
hall at the Coronado High School, 1903 NM-96, Gallina, NM.

Operations: Crews continued repair activities yesterday as other firefighters patrolled for any remaining hot
spots. After conducting a grid search along the perimeter, no areas of concern were identified. Chipping and
grading activities were completed along Forest Roads 64 and 77 while work continued along Forest Road 169E.
Minimal heat remains on the west side where the fire temporarily crossed the line last week before crews
successfully stopped the spread. Hoses will be left in place for the next few days to support continued efforts in
that area. Crews surveyed between Forest Roads 42 and 77 and found no remaining hot spots. As a result, hoses
and other water infrastructure that are no longer needed were removed from that area. Firefighters have completed
their assessment of structures to the south and developed a structure protection plan to assist residents in the event
of a future fire in the area. With the completion of this assessment, these crews are now being reassigned to
respond to any potential new fire starts near the Indios Fire. Due to successful firefighting efforts, the Rio Arriba
Sheriff’s Department has lifted the “Ready” status from the Corrales Ranch. Air operations are beginning to
release their resources to support other fires in the region. Currently, two helicopters remain on the Indios Fire,
down from seven helicopters at the peak of the fire activity. Today, chipping will continue along Forest Road
169E as crews remain vigilant for any new wildfire starts.

Weather: Today will bring the highest temperatures of the year thus far. Some scattered thunderstorms may form
over the fire area, as the chance of rain increases over the weekend. Strong gusty winds up to 20 miles per hour
are possible near any storms.

Smoke: Minimal smoke impacts are expected for the foreseeable future. Light dispersed visible smoke will
diminish over the next few days. Smoke sensors have been installed and will remain in the communities of
Coyote, Gallina, Cañones, and at the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The final smoke outlook report for the
Indios Fire is available online at the links below. View an interactive smoke map at https://fire.airnow.gov/. Learn
more about smoke impacts at https://www.env.nm.gov/air-quality/fire-smoke-links/.

Closures: The Santa Fe National Forest has issued an emergency area closure for the Indios Fire. The full closure
order (No. 03-12-05-23-22) and map are available on Inciweb. Camping and water will be available at the
Coyote Ranger Station for Continental Divide Trail hikers impacted by this closure.

Safety: A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in place over the area, which includes uncrewed aircraft systems or
drones. More information on the dangers drones pose to wildland firefighting aircraft and personnel on the ground
can be found at: https://uas.nifc.gov/.

Start Date: May 16, 2024 

Location: 8 miles North of Ruidoso, White Mountain Wilderness Area  

Cause: Lightning

Personnel: 318                                                                                 

Fuels: Timber/Grass/Brush

Containment: 83%                                                                               

Resources: 4 crews | 12 engines | 2 helicopters | 2 bulldozers | 1 water tender | 3 masticators

Highlights: The entire eastern side of the fire is now contained. Firefighters continue work on repairing any impacts from suppression efforts. A virtual community meeting is planned for tonight Thursday, June 6 at 7:30 pm. The meeting will be broadcast live on the Blue 2 Fire Facebook page. The public will be provided an opportunity to ask questions about fire operations and post-fire recovery. 

Operations: Repair of land disturbed by dozer and handline continues. Firefighters spread grass seed to encourage revegetation. Crews and equipment install water diversion features to limit erosion. Excavators pull wind rows of brush back onto the northern dozer line. Masticators continue to work on the Forest boundary, west of the communities. Drones and crews monitor for any detectable hot spots along the remaining uncontained fire edge. Hose lines and sprinklers are backhauled and prepared for return to the national cache. As firefighters finish their work, they leave the incident to return home or head to other fires. Law enforcement continues to enforce the forest closure so firefighters can safely complete their work.   

Weather: A significant shift in the weather pattern across the region will result in moderating fire weather conditions, lower wind speeds, and increased relative humidity. Chances of wetting rain are increasing, but storms may bring dry lightning and gusty and erratic outflow winds.

Smoke: The fire is producing minimal smoke. Surrounding communities will see good air. Transported smoke or other particulate matter, may create hazy skies on occasion. The interactive smoke map can still be found at fire.airnow.gov/

Closures: In the interest of public safety, camping and other recreation activities in the Bonito Lake Area are still restricted due to ongoing firefighter activities. The Forest closure order will continue to remain in effect for the White Mountain Wilderness Area.

Blue 2 Fire June 6 Public Information Map.jpeg

Highlights: Emergency Stage 1 Fire Restrictions go into effect today at 8 a.m. throughout the entire Tonto National Forest. Campfires outside of established Forest Service campgrounds, target shooting, and smoking except within an enclosed vehicle or developed recreation site are all not permitted. View Tonto National Forest’s Fire Restriction PSA here. Almost 23,500 acres have burned so far this year on the Tonto, largely by human-caused fires. View more statistics at Tonto National Forest’s fire dashboard.

Operations: Yesterday, containment progress was made on the north side of the fire. Firefighters will continue strengthening and mopping up control lines around the west side through the week and into the weekend. Additionally, some fire crews originally assigned to the Adams Fire have been redeployed to support the Tonto National Forest in responding to any potential new wildfire incidents in the days ahead.

Weather: The fire area will be even hotter today, with highs of 110 degrees and humidity in the single digits. An extreme heat warning is in effect until June 7. Fuel moisture is critically low, and fuels are very receptive to fire. Winds will be light out of the east. This weather trend continues through the weekend, which will increase fire danger and the possibility of new wildfires.

Closures: Closure orders are in effect in the Tonto National Forest surrounding the Adams Fire. View the current closure order and Stage 1 fire restrictions here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/tonto/alerts-notices/?aid=87846

Safety: The health and safety of firefighters and the public are always the highest priority. Please avoid the area while crews conduct fire suppression operations. Citizens are urged to sign up for the Maricopa County Emergency Notification System. The system allows you to be quickly notified of emergency evacuations. To learn more about the Arizona Emergency Information Network visit: https://ein.az.gov/ready-set-go. Firefighting aircraft and drones are a dangerous combination. Drones in the area could lead to accidents or slow down wildfire suppression operations. If you fly…we can’t.

Smoke: Smoke from the Adams Fire has decreased; however, it may be visible in the surrounding areas for many days. Smoke will drift to the north and east due to prevailing winds. Individuals who are sensitive to smoke or have conditions aggravated by smoke 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.

Firefighters and fuels specialists from the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest may implement prescribed fire operations tomorrow in the Red Rocks project area, eight miles west of the Bernice exit off Interstate 15 between Elk Park and Basin. The project unit is approximately nine acres in size. Smoke impacts are anticipated to be minimal, but smoke may be visible from the I-15 corridor in the Bernice, Basin, and Boulder areas.

The unit, part of the Red Rocks project, will be treated with prescribed fire to reduce conifer within the aspen stand, promoting aspen vigor. The prescribed fire operations will serve as a live fire training exercise, as part of the BDNF basic fire training delivery (“guard school”).  Students in the training will develop valuable skills like digging direct fireline, while experiencing all management aspects of a live fire scenario.

For updates or more information, contact the Butte Ranger District at (406) 494-2147.
 

The READY STATUS of the Corrales Ranch area affected by the Indios Fire has been lifted by the Rio Arriba Sheriff's Office, leaving it with no status at this time.  

As fire activity decreases, crews focus on repair 

Daily Update – Wednesday, June 5, 2024 

Acres: 11,500  

Start Date: May 19, 2024 

Location: 7 miles north of the village of Coyote, NM 

Personnel: 564 

Completion: 66%  

Fuels: Timber 

Highlights: After continued efforts by firefighters, the Indios Fire remains at 11,500 acres. Firefighters have started to conduct suppression repair around the footprint of the fire, cleaning up and repairing disturbances from firefighting activities.  

Operations: As fire activity continues to decrease, crews are focusing on repairing impacts from fire management activities across the fire area. Yesterday, on the northwest area of the fire, prep work consisted of hand cutting “ladder fuels” including branches and limbs of trees that could potentially carry fire from the ground to the canopies. Firefighters are continuing chipping operations along Forest Roads 169E and 64A to reduce the vegetation that was previously cut by fire crews. An uncrewed aircraft system, or drone, flew over the western portion of the fire along Forest Road 64 and identified a few isolated pockets of heat within the perimeter. Following this discovery, crews were sent in to locate and extinguish these hot spots. On Forest Road 77, crews continued to use machinery to cut vegetation into small wood chips and “mop up” burning material near control lines. These activities also included felling fire-damaged trees and cooling ash pits to ensure no heat remains. Along the eastern edge of the fire, crews continue to patrol and secure the perimeter. Water support crews assisted the ground crews with dust abatement and backhauled one of the 10,000-gallon portable water tanks that was no longer needed due to decreased fire activity. As firefighters complete chipping activities around the fire, crews will shift to areas where resources are most needed. 

Weather: Strong high pressure will start to build over New Mexico today with much warmer temperatures through Saturday. Surface moisture will decrease through Thursday and then increase. Mid-level moisture will begin to increase Thursday with increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms through the weekend. Strong gusty outflow winds are possible near any storms. 

Smoke: Visible smoke is diminishing in the area as fire activity decreases. Smoke monitors have been installed in Coyote, Gallina, Cañones, the Monastery of Christ in the Desert, and the Abiquiu Dam. A smoke outlook report for the Indios Fire is available online at the links below. View an interactive smoke map at https://fire.airnow.gov/. Learn more about smoke impacts at https://www.env.nm.gov/air-quality/fire-smoke-links/.  

Closures: The Santa Fe National Forest has issued an emergency area closure for the Indios Fire. The full closure order (No. 03-12-05-23-22) and map are available on Inciweb. Camping and water will be available at the Coyote Ranger Station for Continental Divide Trail hikers impacted by this closure.  

Safety: A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in place over the area, which includes uncrewed aircraft systems or drones. More information on the dangers drones pose to wildland firefighting aircraft and personnel on the ground can be found at: https://uas.nifc.gov/.
