Some of the largest US wildfires spread across the northeastern region of New Mexico, an area that is in dire straits as hundreds of thousands of acres have been scorched.
The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) has identified six wildfires burning across the state. The fires have consumed more than 280k acres as of Monday morning. Out of the six, here are the three major ones:
Hermits Peak (size 176k acres), 12 miles northwest of Las Vegas, New Mexico
Cooks Peak (size 59k acres), located north of Ocate in Mora County
Cerro Pelado (size 37.5k acres), located 7 miles east of Jemez Springs in Sandoval County
