Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — The Laguna Wildfire burning in northern New Mexico has scorched 14,700 acres and is now 45% contained. Officials say the acreage was adjusted after more accurate infrared mapping. Evacuation orders are in place for Gallinas Ranch, with nearby areas on alert. Crews are using helicopters and control lines to slow the fire’s spread. A new incident management team will take over operations today as smoke continues to impact air quality across the region.
