QUEMADO, NM, Nov. 8, 2024 – The Quemado Ranger District plans to use prescribed fire to burn the Baca community slash disposal site beginning as early as Wednesday, November 20. Crews are also preparing to continue burning 800 acres of slash piles adjacent to Luna, New Mexico.
"The Baca community slash disposal site provides a place for landowners to dispose of hazardous fuels that have been cut and removed from private lands in the area, and the forest burns the woody debris periodically. This is a critical service by the Gila National Forest to support Catron County's Firewise program," said Quemado District Ranger Randall Chavez. "Large slash piles near Luna are the result of timber sales and hazardous fuels treatments strategically placed to create a fuel break that protects the community. Now that those mechanical treatments are complete, burning the slash will further reduce fuel loading on the landscape and the risk of high-severity wildfire, while reintroducing a keystone ecological process to fire-dependent ecosystems."

MOGOLLON – The New Mexico Department of Transportation will be closing the gates on NM 159 "Bursum Rd" for the upcoming winter months starting today Thursday, November 7, 2024, at noon.
The lower gate is located at milepost 12.3, just past Mogollon, and the upper gate located at milepost 22.6, Willow Creek Campground. This closure is in place due to winter weather conditions making the roadway impassable.
