Bonner Fire in Gila National Forest grows to 3100 acres
Lightning sparked 17 fires in the Gila National Forest with the Bonner Fire in the Aldo Leopold Wilderness swelling from 80 to 3100 acres. Officials say winds up to 40 mph drove the blaze, but crews expect it to burn out as fuel diminishes, while a prescribed burn strategy reduces future risk. The fire, at 8000 to 9000 feet, moved through rugged, isolated terrain as smoke shrouded Truth or Consequences.
