SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Authorities say a lightning-caused fire in the Santa Fe National Forest has grown to 250 acres (101 hectares) and is sending smoke over Albuquerque.
KOB-TV reports that some forest roads are closed because of the fire, which started Friday and still is zero percent contained.
The fire currently is burning in the Jemez Ranger District of the forest, shutting down Forest Road 376 from Gilman Tunnels to the intersection of Forest Road 488 and Forest Road 376.
Hotshot crews from Santa Fe and Arizona are working to stall the fire’s advance.
Forest officials say no homes or structures are being threatened because of the fire’s remote location, which is more than a mile north of Deer Creek Landing and east of Joaquin Mesa.
