On Friday, July 5, 2024, at about 7 p.m., A Hurley Police Department officer responded to an unwanted subject call at 13 Cortez Avenue in Hurley. The responding officer was advised that a woman was reported in the back yard of the residence swimming in caller's kids' pool at the corner of Diaz Street and Chino Blvd. However, according to HPD Chief Chris McGuinness, the officer reported he couldn't get to the woman because of a swarm of bees which were attacking the female and the officer.
According to Chief McGuinness, the female was walking on the sidewalk when the bees attacked and forced her to find refuge in the "kiddie's pool, no more than two inches deep."

QUEMADO, NM, July 9, 2024 – The Lolo Fire transitioned to a type 3 incident management team on Monday and is estimated at 378 acres in the Quemado Ranger District. The fire is located between Escondido Mountain and the Continental Divide Trail, roughly 6 miles northeast of Quemado Lake.
"Currently, there are no area closures in place for the fire," said Quemado District Ranger Randall Chavez. "But for the safety of the public and crews, we would appreciate it if they would avoid the immediate area for firefighting efforts."
