RESERVE, NM, May 20, 2015 - For Immediate Release - Fire crews on the Reserve Ranger District report that the Kelly Fire has grown to 11 acres despite intermittent rain and snow showers over the weekend. The fire shows very little potential for growth while some logs and litter continue to burn within the perimeter. Due to the remote nature of the fire and firefighter safety, minimal suppression actions will be taken.

The fire was detected May 14 approximately 11 miles south of Reserve, New Mexico on the Gila National Forest. The fire is being managed under a confinement suppression strategy.

The forecast shows mostly sunny skies for the next three to five days with temperatures in the mid-70s. Smoke may be visible for a couple weeks while fire crews continue to check on the fire. For more information, please call the Reserve Ranger District at 575-533-6232.
