Wildfire near Jemenz Mountains in New Mexico



I ran across information about the fire shown in the video clip (courtesy of KOB-4 in Santa Fe, NM) when I was reading this thread on the wildland fire hotlist forums. I was interested in this particular fire because the folk who were making the post reported tanker and helo activity -- three P-2V's (the type II tankers) and one P-3 (the type I tanker, and a type I helo. Thanks to the link that they provided, I was able to the video clip that I embedded here.

Evacuations of nearby communities were ordered last night.
