Las Tusas Fire Continues to Burn Structures and Evacuees Recall Last Year's Trauma #nmfire

Firefighters have contained 30% of the Las Tusas wildfire in San Miguel County, New Mexico, which has been reduced to 969 acres after more accurate mapping. Evacuation orders for 165 residences have been lifted, and all road closures have been lifted. Three structures and ten outbuildings were lost, and fire managers are assessing suppression damage. Mop-up operations are in place to create a "cold black" barrier along the fire line to prevent embers and other threats from escaping.
