The governor’s order notes that the wildfire has placed “significant strain” on local resources. Maj. Gen. Miguel Aguilar, the interim cabinet secretary for the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, said in a statement, “We are doing everything we can to support the responders and the residents who are facing these disasters.”
