THIS STANDS TO BE A DIFFICULT WEEK FOR FIRE CREWS WORKING THE 57 HUNDRED ACRE SIGNAL FIRE IN THE GILA NATIONAL FOREST. THE FIRE IS 60 PERCENT CONTAINED. BUT WITH HOT DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS NEW MEXICO THIS WEEK, THE FIRE DANGER IS ESPECIALLY HIGH. CREWS ARE PREPARING TO DEAL WITH THOSE CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
INVESTIGATORS KNOW THE FIRE THAT STARTED JUST OVER A WEEK AGO WAS HUMAN CAUSED. THEY STILL HAVEN'T DETERMINED EXACTLY HOW IT WAS STARTED.
