Location: NM...the Land of Manana | 40-60 mile an hour wind this weekend and a fire started in the Gila NF close to town. This morning no wind and a thick cloud of smoke hanging over everything. The building I work in smells like a camfire is burning in the center of it. No rain in sight and this is just the beginning of another BAD fire season looks like. I would wish for wind (gasp) to clear the smoke, but I don't want the firefighters to have a worse time of it. Praying for rain, lots of it! |

| I hope it fizzles out quickly. My cousin is on a Firefighting team in AZ, but I know she goes all over. IDK if she'd be in on this one or not, probably if it gets bigger. I know her last post was that she was on a Heli-crew somewhere. |

Location: NM...the Land of Manana | It is only 3 miles for Pinos Altos but the winds are light right now, hopefully will stay light long enough for them to get a handle on it. Lots of homes, history and livliehoods on the line. Prayers for all the firefighters and people in harms way. |

| I saw helicopters headed your way yesterday. Just pray we don't get a fire over here so all the assets can stay with you. |

Location: NM...the Land of Manana | Winds are still light, lots of air traffic. The fire has crested the mountains on this side, have heard it has grown to 5000 acres, but just a rumor, no confirmation . Looks like they are getting a handle on it from the cheap seats, but could change in a heartbeat. |
