THE SUMMER MONSOONS HAVE YET TO DAMPEN THE FIRE DANGER IN NEW MEXICO. METEOROLOGISTS WITH THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBUQUERQUE SAY A WILDFIRE COULD STILL SPARK UP THIS SEASON. THEY SAY IT'S BECAUSE ALL THE GRASSES THAT HAVE GROWN SINCE THE RAINS LAST MONTH ARE DRYING OUT AGAIN, PROVIDING MORE FUEL FOR WILDFIRES.
AMONG THE MORE VULNERABLE AREAS IN THE STATE: THE EASTERN PLAINS, LOWLANDS, VALLEYS, AND BOSQUES.
