The Wester
Prescribed burn that had been scheduled for today has been postponed due to the
detection of the Rooster Fire. The Rooster Fire was spotted Tuesday afternoon
around 4pm. It is located on the top of the Manzano Mountains around the Crest
Trail and Gallo Peak. It is believed to be about 1 acre in size at this time.
Firefighters from the Mt. Taylor Hotshots along with Mountainair Ranger District
Personnel have begun hiking to the fire and will work on suppression throughout
the day.
The Wester
Prescribed Burn is tentatively rescheduled for tomorrow. This is all dependent
on the successful containment of the Rooster Fire as well as continued
cooperation of the weather. You may reply or call me at the Mountainair Ranger
District with any questions at 505-847-2990.
