- Two wildfires that have scorched about 19,000 acres in less than 24 hours forced the evacuation of the New Mexico mountain town of Ruidoso. The urgent evacuation led to a traffic jam as people fled on the main road out. So far, an estimated 500 structures have been damaged in the wildfires. Omar Villafranca has the latest.

That's a beautiful part of New Mexico and I hope everyone stays safe, and that the firefighters are able to quickly contain those fires.
No, too late. Massive destruction Im afraid.
Yeah idk the status of my house because I live there I got evacuated to Roswell 😢
Doesn’t look like everything is ok.
Praying for the residents of Ruidoso. I love that area!
The area is burnt to a crisp.
Watch Duty reporting now over 1,400 structures burned now (2230 hours Mountain time). So sad. Beautiful country, and great people suffering from this.
I live in Roswell and this is heartbreaking. Everyone here and in the other nearby towns are doing all they can to help evacuees. 😢
Yeah I know I was evacuated to Roswell idk the status of my house😢😢😢
Rumors going around the county is that it was arson. 4 teenagers. 2 have been arrested. Pray for Ruidoso and our Lincoln National Forrest.
So what. The fire spreads way way faster than 30 years ago because its objectively hotter and drier. Not everything is a wacky conspiracy.
You are amazing, New Mexico. Stay safe , stay aware. God Bless You. ❤❤
Somebody is lighting those fires deliberately
Migrant campfires not be extinguished after cooking in the wilderness.
😂😂😂
Yep, it was sent by the evil Elite's just so they can earn some money to feed their family & that's what I said wen we heard South East of Flagstaff Az! Someone deliberately starting those fires. We will hv to watch our backs...!
@@JeremiahGrace-tt7wj ok mr bot, yeah it must be the immigrants.Good lord you guys will find any explanation but the obvious one.
this also explains why there are no wildfires in China.
Migrant campfires are not being extinguished properly after cooking in the wilderness is starting these fires.
"five fires" ???
What's starting these fires?
Human 4 ppl
I think it's from a UFO crash.
Heat Lightning.
Very common.
Same as Maui and California
@@MrGlasstech I was wondering the same thing 🤨😡
Someone is starting these fires
I believe that is where Smokey the Bear was rescued, or close to there.
Five fires started in ruidoso? That place is small. I don’t remember the last time that five fires started that close together even in California. This doesn’t sound right. Unless it was windy and fires were started with burning debris?
You can’t believe a fire can start in New Mexico ?
@@Hashdollars omg, is that what I said? I can’t believe you see what you wanna read
There are rumors about it being an arsonist but my second bet would be several careless individuals throwing out cigarette butts or not properly putting out campfires on a very dry day.
Their migrant campfires not being extinguished after cooking is what their saying.
@@kansasgoldilocks There are those rumors with every fire ever nowadays.
That's so sad 😢 I used to live in Roswell and would spend just about every weekend up in Ruidoso hiking camping going to the inn of the mountain gods and it's a truly breathtaking beautiful place to see it going up in flames is just gut wrenching praying they can get it under control relatively soon much love from Packers nation ❤
I drove through Ruidiso just a month ago coming back from a roadtrip to Ohio. I have often thought that this town was at risk for a serious fire as it is surrounded by forest.
Ruidiso is a high mountain town at 7000 ft and a pop. of 8000 which triples in size in summer with tourists and many who have cabins for summer homes. Plus there the Mescalero Apache Res. is right next to the town with a race track and casinos.
It's absolutely beautiful up there and if you get up into the back country away from Ruidoso and all the tourists it's even more beautiful
In the 60's there was very little of that, a two-lane highway and not much else. Decent trout fishing.
@@landonleathers5936 Indeed it is at that higher altitude (6900 ft) in the mountains. Beautiful and vulnerable to lethal fires.
This is a horrible tragedy.
bloody haarp and chemtrailing ?
Nobody cares what you believe. Just get out of the way.
😅😂😆
🤣
Yes, this wicked govs might b using Haarp 😠
More like bloody teenagers who started the fires.
Praying for all. 🙏
Stay. Strong.
Ruidoso is so pretty.
It dries out quicker there and brush caught fires. It's still wet and green in Oregon 😊😊
This is all planned
Flashbacks of the calf canyon fire 2 years ago in Las Vegas and mora 😢
The fire was formerly a controlled burn that got out of control joined with another to become the largest fire in NM history at 300,000 + acres.
It's RUIDOSO, not RIO-DOSO, come on, people.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Prayers to all❤
oh no. poor mexico :(
Mexico?
New Mexico. Its a state.
Thank you ExxonMobil and all you fossil fuel corporations.

Cloud seeding like they do in Dubai would help
Ask if there’s money for that. It travels overseas where education and heathcare are free. Thanks to American taxpayers.

Bravo fire 😊❤

Magnifique. Feu a volonte.
need some construction workers with heavy equipment to help fire fighters. Construction water trucks haul 9 to 15,000 gallons of water but you never see them why not?
What ! N new Mexico!! 🙁
Tribulations.

Little example how how Nulear chemical weapon war will be to all livingthings. Save lives and the world.
ALMIGHTY GOD IS NOT PLAYIN' WITH YOU PEOPLE 😎🎸
Human activity is causing this..
@@72marshflower15
YOU SURE DO GIVE HUMANS FAR TOO MUCH CREDIT. 😎🎸
@@69judge27 ~ it’s just taking responsibility for our behavior instead of passing causation onto other things.
So explain why you are speaking for God and why he is mad at Ruidoso NM?
@@72marshflower15 yes, sin.
wow another treason.

Officials cannot force evacuations!
😂
You would be a fool not to leave on your own.
This is a prime example of why more people need to get more prepared and think about "Emergency Preparedness Management" for both your home and vehicles.

All part of Biden's build back better plan!
Fire does not give a crap about your politics give it a rest.
Your mom should have received a vaccine against syphilis before she conceived you.
Fn climate change deniers……
Soon Biden will retire and we can celebrate
Let’s go Brandon
