The eco-Terrorists start fires all over the nation. You’d think if we had a real DOJ they would investigate who was paying them to do their deeds? Just a thought.
The South Fork and Salt Fires, as they are known, led to the evacuation of thousands of residents. The gravity of the situation is underscored by the destruction of almost a thousand homes, as reported by Lincoln County Manager Randall Camp. In response to the calamity, President Joe Biden declared a disaster in affected parts of southern New Mexico, unlocking federal aid to support recovery efforts. This aid includes provisions for temporary housing and loans to help cover uninsured property losses, with additional assistance aimed at Lincoln County and the Mescalero Apache Tribe’s lands.

As of the latest updates, firefighting teams numbering over 1,100 are battling the blazes, which are complicated by the rugged terrain surrounding Ruidoso. Although the South Fork Fire has been 31% contained, the smaller Salt Fire is only 7% under control, with full containment not expected until mid-July. The persistent danger of flash flooding, exacerbated by potential thunderstorms, adds to the challenges faced by emergency services and residents.
The National Interagency Fire Center has been closely monitoring the situation, noting the size and containment levels of both fires. Despite efforts to control the flames, the extensive damage to infrastructure—such as power lines and utility systems—complicates the recovery process. New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator Deanne Criswell have visited the disaster zones to oversee the response efforts.
