THE BOSQUE FIRE NEAR LA JOYA IS MOSTLY CONTAINED NOW … AND FIRE CREWS ARE KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH ON IT TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN’T SPARK UP AGAIN. IT’S BURNED BETWEEN 200 AND 300 ACRES SINCE IT STARTED SUNDAY.
IT WAS A TOUGH FIRE FIGHT BECAUSE OF THE DENSE TERRAIN WHERE IT WAS LOCATED. NO WORD YET ON WHY IT STARTED BUT IT’S BELIEVED TO BE HUMAN-CAUSED.
MEANWHILE, FIRE CREWS HAVE PRETTY MUCH BLOCKED THE PROGRESS OF THE FORT LONE TREE FIRE IN THE LINCOLN NATIONAL FOREST.
