Arsons Suspected in New Mexico Fires on Mescalero Reservation
Officials from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and FBI probe arson as a possible cause of multiple fires in southern New Mexico. The 5-2 Fire on the Mescalero Apache Reservation burned 16 422 acres and one home before containment, with authorities noting fires started in remote areas away from roads. Firefighters, over 530 strong, continued securing lines as investigators traced suspicious blazes across Mescalero land and adjacent Lincoln National Forest and private property.
