Northern New Mexico Firefighters Address Multiple Lightning-Caused Wildfires

Multiple lightning-started wildfires, including the 30-acre Sand Springs and 10-acre Frijoles fires, are active across northern New Mexico. Firefighters are working to suppress these uncontained blazes, which pose a risk of spread due to challenging terrain and adverse weather conditions like high temperatures and gusty winds. Smoke is visible in several communities, impacting air quality and local residents.
