The wildfire, known as the Rio Fire, that is currently burning near the Jemez mountains in New Mexico has burned 2,000 acres according to a KOB-4 news report that may be found here. The fire is 10 percent contained, and 83 structures are threatened.
Look for the latest update on the Rio Fire at New Mexico Fire Information website. According to the press release issued mid-day on June 2, four air tankers and four type-1 helos were working the fire on June 2 (along with a lead plane) in support of several wildland firefighting crews. Wildland Fire has a good thread in their hotlist forums on this fire, with details from earlier press releases on the fire along with other information.
Edited on June 3 to correct a bad link and provide an additional link for further information.
