Days of red flag weather produced an explosion in the West side of the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak fire. Due to inaccessibility for crews and lots of fuel, the fire is moving quickly into our beloved Pecos Wilderness. Thankfully a monsoon pattern has arrived to give us rain.
Beautiful time lapse -and really very sad. I’m a couple hundred miles to the southeast and for weeks we had strong smoke odor and very poor visibility here. Informing the site of that fire.
