More than 1,600 firefighters were battling nine large fires that destroyed dozens of homes and burned more than 100 square miles in Arizona and New Mexico. Fires also were burning in Colorado, where evacuations were ordered.
Kylee Moberg tries to get through a road block on N.M. 94 to get to her friend and horses on Friday. Destructive Southwest fires have burned dozens of homes in northern Arizona and put numerous small villages in New Mexico in the path of danger. LAS VEGAS, N.M. — Maggie Mulligan said her dogs could sense the panic while she and her husband packed them up, agonized over having to leave horses behind and fled a fast-moving wildfire barreling toward their home in northeast New Mexico.
Wind-blown clouds of dust and plumes of smoke obscured the skies near the fires, said Jesus Romero, assistant county manager for San Miguel County."All the ugliness that spring in New Mexico brings — that's what they're dealing in." In Arizona, a Flagstaff-area fire burned 30 homes and numerous other buildings when the flames blew through rural neighborhoods Tuesday.
Mulligan, 68, of Ledoux, a dog breeder, said her dog Liam"was a nervous wreck" when a sheriff came to their house Friday afternoon and told them they had to leave.
