Wildfires – USA
New Mexico – The Calf Canyon Fire merged with the rejuvenated Hermits Peak Fire which had been nearly contained but took off and ran parallel with the Calf Fire. Spot fires igniting far in advance contributed to the rapid rate of spread. The blaze is about 9 miles northwest of Las Vegas, New Mexico. The combined size of the two fires is more than 40,000 acres.
New Mexico – The Cooks Peak Fire was also very active Friday, spreading primarily to the north for nearly eight miles pushed by strong winds. Surprisingly, it also grew two miles to the southeast. At 1 a.m. on Saturday it was about nine miles south of Cimarron and and 30 miles east of Taos. It has burned approximately 48,500 acres.
