Large New Mexico fires strain resources across 90 000 acres
About 1 000 firefighters fought a complex of fires in northeastern New Mexico with the Ponil Complex now under a Type I incident command. Infrared mapping and daily updates centered on Ute Park as 28 crews and 10 water‑dropping helicopters battled wind and smoke. Scouters arriving at Philmont Ranch noted two sheds burned and safety measures underway. A separate Cherry Fire in El Malpais Wilderness covered nearly 1 200 acres with no threats to structures.

State Police Car Seat Clinic Seizes Equipment Replaces Seats
New Mexico State Police officer Melissa Armstrong says none of about 15 inspected car seats were correctly installed at a Roswell clinic co sponsored by Roswell Toyota and Roswell Honda. Three seats were replaced with new ones donated by Wal Mart Sears and Alco. Two seats were deemed out of date and recommended replacement. Safer New Mexico Now runs the program. Public urged to watch for the next clinic in two to three months and call 622 7200 for updated date.
