Authorities have lifted some evacuation orders for a southern New Mexico mountain community hit by wildfire
Smoke from the McBride Fire rises near an intersection in Ruidoso, New Mexico, on Wednesday, April 13, 2022. Authorities say firefighters have kept a wind-driven blaze from pushing further into a mountain community in the southern part of the state. RUIDOSO, N.M. — — Authorities have lifted some evacuation orders for a mountain community in southern New Mexico as firefighters worked Saturday to contain a wind-driven blaze that killed two people and destroyed over 200 homes.
Weather conditions Saturday appeared favorable with reduced wind and increased humidity, Bales said. “We have lines in. We just want to make sure they hold in that wind," he said. “We may have missed something," Guinn said. “Don't try to touch them, fix them, roll them up, whatever." Ruidoso a decade ago was the site of the most destructive wildfire in New Mexico’s recorded history when more than 240 homes burned and nearly 70 square miles of forest were blackened by a lightning-sparked blaze.
