| episode_narrative | The Whitewater/Baldy Complex Fire, the largest wildfire in New Mexico state history as of this writing, was fully contained in mid-July after scorching 297,845 acres. Previously, the Las Conchas wildfire of 2011 at just over 156,000 acres, was the state's largest. ||On May 9th, the Baldy Fire started and on May 16, the Whitewater Fire was detected. Both fires were started by lightning. On May 24th, strong winds allowed the Whitewater and Baldy wildfires to merge, becoming the Whitewater-Baldy Complex. At least 12 structures burned in the Willow Creek subdivision. On May 26th, another bout of stronger winds led to the evacuation of Mogollon. Spotting was reported up to three-quarters of a mile within mixed conifer and ponderosa pine on the northern side of the fire, while pinon pine and juniper were more common on the southeast flank. The fire led to numerous road closures including Forest Service Road 141, Forest Service Road 28 at the Forest Service Road 94 junction, State Road 159 at Whitewater and Forest Service Road 150 at the Forest Service Road 142 junction. |
