episode_narrativeThe Las Conchas wildfire began when a tree fell on a power line 12 miles southwest of Los Alamos. The fire quickly spread eastward under windy and unstable conditions, burning more than 40,000 acres the first day. This fire continued through the end of July before it was contained. In all, this fire burned 156,593 acres, making it the largest fire in New Mexico history. Damage estimates will be entered at the end of the event.
event_narrativeThe Las Conchas wildfire damaged 80 homes, of which, 15 were primary residences. The other 65 homes were seasonal. Numerous outbuildings were also damaged or destroyed. The fire prompted evacuations of Los Alamos National Labs, Bandelier National Monument, the City of Los Alamos, as well as numerous other campgrounds and homes within the burned area itself. The fire burned portions of the Santa Clara, Cochiti, San Ildefonso and Santa Domingo Pueblos as well as portions of Bandelier National Monument and the Valles Caldera National Preserve. This fire burned on both sides of Highway 4, and up to Highway 501, causing both highways to be closed for a time. Some of this area was previously burned by the Cerro Grande Fire in 2000. Fortunately, no member of the public or any emergency responders were seriously injured during the fire suppression efforts.
