The Signal Fire near Silver City is now burning at 47-hundred acres and as of last night was zero percent contained. The wildfire was first reported burning along Highway 15 north of Silver City around 3 p.m. on Sunday. Campsites and private property in the vicinity of Signal Peak have been evacuated and the Forest Service says some homes are threatened by the fire. A total of seven air support units, including four choppers and three air tankers, are battling the blaze from the air. Hundreds of people are fighting the fire on the ground as well.
With the Signal Fire burning, Governor Susana Martinez is urging city leaders around the state to consider limiting fireworks. The governor sent a letter to local leaders Monday saying drought conditions, strong winds and warm temperatures have combined for high fire danger and increased risk in many parts of the state. Martinez is urging municipalities and counties to hold meetings in the coming weeks to discuss and potentially vote on local restrictions or bans on the use of fireworks.
