That's the Frijoles Fire looking out my windows (the last photo is taken from Nambe Pueblo by the Pueblo Rangers). It's grown to over 6,200 acres and is 0% contained. I shot this during the day and you can see it's like dusk because of the smoke. The brown ground is usually lush with green native grasses. That's how dry it's been. At night I can see the flames. Parts of Cundiyó, just down the mountain from me, are being evacuated and my friends in Córdova have been put on Set status because they're in the same mountain and canyon system. For some reason, Chimayó, which sits just below Córdova, isn't mentioned. Truchas is considered safe and trenches are being dug to protect it and El Valle. The fire is now burning to the east away from us, but the smoke is blowing northeast all the way to Taos and hitting us all hard. Doge and FEMA cutbacks are affecting the response and some people are flying personal drones over the area forcing water tankers out of the air. So many places around the world, not just NM, are on fire and our government says climate change is a hoax. Sending out positive energy for change.
