Containment will increase as the Pass Fire receives wetting rain.

In 2015, Grant County selected Hidalgo Medical Services (HMS) as the service provider to provide substance misuse treatment in Grant County. HMS worked closely with the county to open the newly constructed Tu Casa facility. At the time, Dan Otero, HMS CEO, and Dr. Neal Bowen, HMS CMHO, worked with other community and state leaders to attain licensure to become a Community Mental Health Clinic (CMHC). Tu Casa opened its doors to provide outpatient behavioral health treatment as a CMHC. Later, HMS attained licensure to provide Crisis Triage Center (CTC) at the same facility. Once the state issued reimbursement rates to HMS and appropriate staffing levels were achieved, Tu Casa CTC opened its doors to provide crisis stabilization treatment for anyone experiencing a behavioral health crisis for up to 23 hours a day, seven days a week. The CTC was opened at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic; unfortunately, due to our inability to maintain the daily patient projections for sustainability, the CTC lost over $70,000 a month for two consecutive months. HMS had to make the difficult decision to close the CTC services temporarily.

Antelope Fire is located in a remote area of Black Range Ranger District
TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, NM, July 7, 2023 – Thanks to quick response and strong aerial support, crews have established containment line around all sides of Antelope Fire. Crews are working to identify and extinguish sources of heat within the fire perimeter. The Vail Interagency Hotshots, Lone Peak Hotshots, Santiam Modules 1 and 2, and Crew 621 remain assigned to Antelope Fire today.
"I'm grateful for the hard work and fast action of responding fire and aviation resources, on whose wings and shoulders this success rests," said Black Range District Ranger Bret Mellott. "Aircraft and Hotshot crews are in especially high demand during peak fire season, so we are lucky that these resources were on hand and readily available to respond."
