SANTA FE, NM – May 18, 2021 – While a weather cell over the Cuervito Fire on the Santa Fe National Forest put a hold on operations during much of the day, the Type 3 Incident Management Team (IMT) continued releasing resources from the fire.
Since lightning sparked the Cuervito Fire on Mother’s Day, crews have successfully added low- to moderate-intensity fire to the ground to reduce the hazardous build-up of heavy vegetation, including dead and down timber and needle litter on the forest floor. Managing a naturally ignited wildfire for resource benefit protects communities and resources by reducing the risk of high-severity fire in the future.
