Multiple Wildfires Threaten Arizona and New Mexico Communities.
The Rico Fire, a wildfire, has started burning about seven miles north of Silver City, and a mandatory evacuation was ordered for residents north of Bear Creek Cabins to the Forest Service boundary. Forest Service crews and other volunteer fire departments are on their way. The Pinos Altos Fire Rescue asked non-Pinos Altos residents to stay out of the area. The fire was named the "Rico Incident" by US Wildfire Info.
