South Fork and Salt Fires in New Mexico: Mid-Wednesday Update

[@michellem4287]

These fires are evil. It looks like a volcano. Love from a Las Conchas survivor. Stay strong, New Mexico!

[@frankblangeard8865]

A fire can't be 'evil' anymore than a fire can have any other human characteristic.

[@sharoncecil4124]

Prayers for all affected.

[@chuckkayak68]

I hope the missing are found and the victims are few.

[@dianabaird7743]

How did this fire start?

[@j.c.4120]

Heard it was arson and two have been arrested. But rumors abound.

[@georgecoons6872]

only the shadow knows.

[@Heinrich99]

I just read it was lightning but who knows.

[@joe-el7iw]

half the destroyed acreage is on private land with homes and buisnesses. odd ratio for such a blaze.

[@trvman1]

Climate Change. You just KNOW there are people who have already said this :)

[@sherryhosier2787]

Sad. Such. Pretty. Place

[@H4me7215]

I know about those ashes coming down, very scary times. I hope no one leaves their animals behind, as they depend on you for their safety.😢 STAY SAFE EVERYONE!

[@JohnMacFergus-oz5cp]

My best wishes and thoughts are with them!

New Mexican here, Dw guys, we good 🤑

[@cydkriletich6538]

Heartbreaking. 😢

[@williamvenable2781]

What caused the fires?

[@keithjansen1734]

Have a evacuation center joint registration point. Where all evacuation centers send names of everyone who is in those respective shelters to one central hub computer center and make that a call center to not only be able to say if a loved one is in a shelter but be able to tell them which one and where it is.Use that hub until situation has ended.

[@danielr.5232]

Is the fire still burning or did they put it out?

do you remember when firemen put out fires instead of starting them? -- ray bradbury, farenheit 451

[@connieaguayo9591]

Where are the firetrucks and firefighters. Sirens?

[@sherryhosier2787]

Fires. Very. Bad.

[@georgecoons6872]

no fire is good & bad. do some forest clearing and you wont have this problem. bring back the logging. cause if you dont dont fool with mother nature.

[@shakirabells6955]

Gosh because of climate change and intensive heat

[@mariagonzales5035]

So sad😢

[@joseparadasr.5068]

Lord help to stop the fire please Lord I a m Protected Ruidoso New Mexico With the blood 🩸 of Jesus amen 🙏 I will prey every moment

[@anthonyesparsen7776]

Wow I did not know this was going on and I don’t think I live to far south from it in Albuquerque New Mexico, this is not good I guess a natural fire caused by nature some how.

[@JamesKrawetz]

They should have swept the forest floor so it would not burn. Trump told you people what to do stop forest fires! Get a rake!

[@frankblangeard8865]

The fire IS the rake.

[@michaelfisher7170]

Trump. LOL!

[@JamesKrawetz]

@@michaelfisher7170 I don’t know if you remember George Bush’s idea for fighting the California wildfires. Cut down all the trees, “no forest, no fires.” Bush was a genius!

[@michaelfisher7170]

@@JamesKrawetz LOL. Yep. Those Bush's were THE American brain trust.

[@dawnowen2796]

Anyhow all these places are burning down I smell a democrat

[@43warriormode98]

Yup ...same blaze as Lahaina!

[@Grammy52]

They obviously didn’t sweep the forest floor.
