The Seven Springs fire at Mescalero had now been 66% contained with 9 crews, 13 engines, 1 helicopter, 2 water tenders, 1 dozer and 1 excavator on the scene.
Although gusty winds caused elevated fire weather conditions over the fire area yesterday, firefighters were successful in adding to a containment line to the fire perimeter. The fire is now considered to be 66% contained.
Resources have been working hard to improve fireline on steep terrain and secure hot spots before declaring containment. Additionally, the steadily climbing humidity levels have assisted personnel in achieving greater depth with mop-up tactics. A Flash Flood Watch and nearby Warnings have been issued for the area in anticipation of the incoming weather, including residents in Laborcita and Nogal Canyons and fire scar areas.
Fire Activity: Yesterday, resources on the northeast perimeter of the fire made good progress in their mission gridding for hot spots through green vegetation, particularly in the middle section of that division. Whereas crews on the southeast portion wrapping to the southwest, spent time securing fireline on steep slopes to prevent rolling material from crossing the line, as well as rehabilitated dozer line. Thanks to the hard work of personnel on the line, managers were able to add separate sections of containment line in all divisions of the fire. Today, resources will move forward with similar operations. Crews will focus on securing priority spots around the perimeter, in addition to implementing repair plans, before incoming weather.
This is a continuously evolving situation. Stay tuned.
as should always be the case, we should be thankful for the folks who answer the call and suit-up and do the hot - hard - and dangerous work of fighting these fires.
Looks like her campaign will be generating a few skid marks in it's attempt to gain traction.
Sunny, with a high of 93 and low of 66 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear overnight.
Another great Maryland dad.
the saddest part of this story is that we will punish the guy who was hired to do the smuggling - instead of the person(s) who PAID him to do so.
They're catching the ring leaders as well, slowly but surely.
But I'd be interested to know what industries you think might be willing to pay $15k - $20k per person for unskilled labor that they're also at risk of losing to deportation, before getting a single days work out of them?
an extremely sad situation, in which one person was scared, and the other was killed - it is very difficult to imagine reconciling those two facts.
That wasn't fear. That was an extreme over kill... it is sad. And even sadder that anyone could possibly make any excuses for a piece of filth thinking he is above the law because he wears a badge... in fact to even come to that conclusion is sickening... shame on you.
by no means do i think - nor did i say - that the deputy is, somehow, above the law. my comment was simply observing that because he could not control his emotions, an innocent human being is dead...
and that is very sad situation.
I haven't seen MLG this upset since that girl dropped a house on her sister 90 years ago.
She neglects to mention that Democrats, including all 3 of our representatives, and both Senators, voted for a 68% tax hike.
All of them voted against expanded compensation for down winders.
tell us about this 68% tax hike, the clip doesn't mention anything about that - or is that something else that pam bondi has been sending you information regarding?
I keep forgetting that that information was classified Top Secret.
