The fire was burning vigorously this afternoon. The fire location is behind the mountains to the left, indicated by white smoke.

The winds first drove the smoke up north, then across the Rio Grande valley and our house, and finally to the SouthWest.

So far about 2000 acres got burned, apparently started by a downed power line.

Dee, Stuart, Paul, Karl, Bill, Hank,

 

Thanks for your feedback and concern.

So it is quite far from our location and we are only affected occasionally by some smoke.

 

 

There is also now a fire, the Thompson Ridge Fire, on our side of the Rio Grande in the Jemez mountains.

Here is a map.

Again this fire is currently quite far from our location.

But is has produced enough smoke already to make the sun this evening look similar to the way it did during the Las Conchas fire.

However, the areas burned by the 2011 Las Conchas fire http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/landscape-travel/188749-las-conchas-wildfire.html#post1749935

and the 2000 Cerro Grande Fire Cerro Grande Fire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia now should provide an effective fire break for us.

Those two fires combined consumed 200,000 acres of forests and brush,

 

Of course, our concern is with the affected folks who live in and near the currently burning areas.
