5,000 under evacuation orders as wildfires in New Mexico erupt

Douglas Siddens’ mother was one of the few who survived the massacre on her back when a fierce, wind-blown wildfire engulfed a mountain community in southern New Mexico. wheels, said Siddens, who was in charge of the site.I had 10 people evicted. They lost their homes and everything, including my mother. The fire has destroyed more than 200 homes and killed two people since it erupted Tuesday near the town of Ruidoso, a tourist attraction that attracts thousands of tourists and horse racing fans every summer.

Hundreds of summer homes and cabinets are strewn with the surrounding mountains. Siddens-owned RV park is close to where an elderly couple were found dead this week outside their burnt-out house. Elsewhere in the US, workers were fighting major fires this week in Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado, where a new fire forced people to evacuate Friday. The area east of Rocky Mountain near Lyons is about 18 miles (29 km) north of Boulder.

The fire was burning in the Blue Mountains

The blaze was raging in the Blue Mountains near the Larimer-Boulder region line about 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Estes Park, east of Rocky Mountain National Park.In New Mexico, power has been restored to all but a few hundred customers, but exit orders for about 5,000 people remain in place. Donations come from surrounding communities all familiar with the dangers of wildfires.

It was ten years ago when a fire swept through part of the village of Ruidoso, setting the holiday spot on a map and the most devastating wildfire in New Mexico recorded history when more than 240 homes burned and about 70 square miles (181 square kilometers) the forest darkened with lightning.

Mayor Lynn Crawford reunited with residents in shock as firefighters tried to prevent the blaze from returning to the area. He said their neighbors’ response was surprising. So we have a lot of food, we have a lot of clothes, those kinds of things but we are still grateful and need your prayers and thoughts, said the mayor during the forum. Once again our hearts go out to the family of the deceased, to those who have lost their homes.

Died bodies were found

Authorities have not yet released the names of the deceased couple. Their bodies were found after concerned family members contacted police, who said the couple had planned to leave on Tuesday when the fire broke out but their whereabouts were unknown that day. Although many older residents drive the Ruidoso all year round, the number of people at about 8,000 is increasing to about 8,000. 25,000 during the summer months as Texans and New Mexicans come from tropical areas looking to relax.

Fans also flocked to Ruidoso Downs, home to the richest quarter horse race. The race season is expected to begin on May 27, and the riders are not in danger as firefighters use the facility as a workshop.

Temporary residents have been on social media for the past few days, urging fire officials to relocate certain neighborhoods, hoping that their family cabinets will not be among those damaged or destroyed.

Phone calls were unveiled on Friday afternoon when locals arrived to report further smoking. Fire chief information officer Mike DeFries said that was due to an explosion inside the fire as the flames received pockets of unburned fuel.Although the fire did not further the run of the line they had set up, he said it was still a difficult day for firefighters due to the single-digit humidity, warm temperatures and air.

Authorities also said that it was too early to enter the area to see the damage. They asked for patience as firefighters extinguished the hot spots and tried to build a solid site near the fire.

New Mexico authorities said

It is still a working fireplace there and it is not a safe place, DeFries said. It will take patience. At the same time, every step we take is designed to stem the tide of badness and to get people back home as quickly as possible. New Mexico authorities have blamed the fire, which burned more than 9.5 square miles (24 square kilometers). ) of forest and grass, removed from the ground and the investigation continues on Friday.

The hot, humid climate along with decades of firefighting has contributed to an increase in the number of hectares burned out by veld fires, say fire scientists. The problem is exacerbated by a drought in the West with more than 20 years of research on human-related climate change.
