Las Vegas New Mexico

Federal officials are hopeful a temporary drinking water system will be in place this week for the city of Las Vegas, N.M. The 13,000 people there have been rationing water for two weeks now.

Rains over the weekend helped officials fighting two wildfires in Southern Mexico. But they also brought flooding, especially in northern New Mexico where the state’s biggest fire in history burned two years ago.

Flooding prompts mandatory evacuations around Las Vegas and a Ruidoso woman recounts terror she faced fleeing two wildfires.

In the direct aftermath of New Mexico’s largest-ever recorded wildfire, nearby rivers and streams were flooded with debris. One of those waterways –– the Rio Gallinas –– is now endangered from the fallout and the community wants the state to focus on its long-term health.

The KUNM News Department is continuing to update these lists with resources related to the fires in NM, including the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak
