New Mexico faces a long and potentially devastating wildfire season, state Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said on Saturday, as wildfires in the US southwest cause destruction and force people from their homes.
Hundreds of structures were lost in a growing number of wind-driven blazes across drought-stricken New Mexico, Lujan Grisham said.
More than 20 active wildfires were burning in at least 16 of the state’s 33 counties, in the wake of winds that gusted up to 145kph on Friday, Lujan told a briefing that was streamed online. “So half the state has a fire issue.”
