?MIMBRES, NM, July 9, 2024 – The Ridge Fire is approximately 1,100 acres burning in the Gila National Forest, Wilderness Ranger District. One to two-foot flames lengths were observed yesterday as the fire burns in an old fire scar, moving through grass, needle cast, and dead and downed logs. Crews began assessing private residences as they plan for potential structure protection yesterday. Gusty winds and lightning in today's weather forecast may hinder crews who have been conducting prep work on trails and roads that will be used as holding features in future operations.
"Currently, there are no area closures, but we anticipate some areas being impacted when the Complex Incident Management Team assumes command in the coming days," said Silver City District Ranger Elizabeth Toney. "As always, firefighter and public safety is our top priority, and we advise the public to avoid the fire area both on the ground and in the air."
