episode_narrativeBreezy and dry conditions fueled the Track Fire for several days before crews could get a handle on the fire. The fire quickly gained recognition when Interstate 25 had to be closed and traffic had to be diverted for nearly 3.5 days.
event_narrativeThis grass and timber fueled fire, named the Track Fire, started just north of Raton and burned along and between Bartlett and Horse Mesas, and on either side of the Interstate 25 corridor. I-25 was closed for approximately 3.5 days. This fire was caused by engine exhaust particles, likely expelled by an TV on Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway property. The ATV rider trespassed onto land owned by BNSF through access from nearby private property. Evacuations were needed along the northside of Raton, Pine Valley Estates, and within Sugarite Canyon State Park and Yankee Canyon. The Raton watershed sustained significant damage. In all, 27,792 acres burned, 19,962 of which was in New Mexico. In all, 8 residences and 11 outbuilding were destroyed.
