Expecting to burn along New Mexico Highway 35 and 15; Little Walnut Road
MIMBRES, NM, December 8, 2023 – Crews completed ignitions on the Meekins prescribed fire along Forest Road 150 on the Wilderness Ranger District Wednesday and Thursday this week. Crews remain on scene through the weekend to monitor and hold the fire within unit boundaries.
“We had good conditions for burning this week, with low- to moderate-intensity fire observed, as well as ventilation that helped carry smoke up and away,” said Wilderness District Ranger Henry Provencio. “Dead and down slash materials, grasses, down logs, brush, and shrubs were consumed, helping to reduce hazardous fuels and to maintain or restore open meadows and other wildlife habitats.”
