All In New Mexico

One week follow up to the fires in Ruidoso, NM

TJ Parsons Season 1 Episode 8

The past week has been marked by disaster for people in and around Ruidoso, New Mexico.

The two wildfires that ravaged parts of the resort mountain community — the South Fork Fire and the Salt Fire — were reported on Monday, June 17. Twenty-four hours later residents were ordered to evacuate and the fires destroyed more than 1,000 structures.

Originating on the Mescalero Apache reservation, the two blazes have burned just over 24,000 acres in the area. With over 1,000 fire, emergency, and law enforcement personnel on the ground, containment numbers finally ramped up on Saturday morning.
