Description

The Hummingbird Fire in New Mexicos Gila Wilderness continues to rage, with zero percent containment and over 2,600 acres burned. Despite challenging conditions, nearly 200 firefighters are battling the blaze, which was sparked by lightning on April 20th. Winds gusted up to 35 mph on Sunday, grounding aircraft, but ground crews managed to hold the line and protect homes in the Willow Creek subdivision. Monday brings slightly better conditions, with winds down to 14 mph, allowing firefighters to check firing options and maintain structure protection. Despite the challenges, crews are optimistic about gaining ground and protecting key areas in the coming days.
