| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | As exceptionally dry conditions persisted across northern and central New Mexico and most days during the month of April featured breezy to windy conditions, the stage was set for the rapid development of any fires that formed. When the Cooks Peak Fire was sparked north of Ocate on April 17, 2022, it rapidly spread throughout the month of April. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | On April 17, 2022, the Cooks Peak Fire began on private land north of Ocate near the Mora and Colfax county line. The wildfire experienced its most rapid growth on April 22nd as a historic and catastrophic fire weather pattern set up over New Mexico underneath widespread 60 to 80 mph wind gusts. An infrared flight on the night of April 22nd estimated that the wildfire had grown to 42,672 acres. The rapid growth of this fire prompted evacuations for numerous communities across Mora and Colfax counties. The rapid growth of the wildfire continued through the remainder of the month with a persistent and dangerous windy pattern. By the end of the month on April 30th, the Cooks Peak Fire had burned 59,063 acres with 69 percent containment. Currently, full containment is expected in May 2022. |
