Sacaton Fire Grows in New Mexico Wilderness | El Paso News
Description
The Sacaton Fire in New Mexico’s Gila Wilderness is roaring out of control, now at over 5,500 acres and zero percent containment, fueled by dry heat and rugged terrain. Sparked by lightning on June 21, it’s pushing northeast near Glenwood, threatening Willow Creek and Mogollon Baldy Lookout. A new incident team is deploying indirect tactics and extra resources to protect communities, while residents are urged to evacuate via the “Ready, Set, Go!” plan. Smoke is spreading, air quality is a concern, and the entire Gila National Forest is under Stage One fire restrictions—campfires only in designated areas. Relief may come next week with expected moisture, but for now, the fire’s momentum is unstoppable.
