New Mexico's 3,000-acre McBride Fire destroyed an estimated 150 structures, including homes, and forced the evacuation of a high school Tuesday, officials said.
The fire began April 6 when unexpected winds swept through the area of a prescribed burn in the Santa Fe National Forest and blew it beyond its boundaries, federal officials said. About 190 miles south of Santa Fe, the McBride Fire started Tuesday afternoon and quickly expanded into a major fire that threatened Ruidoso High School and the village of Ruidoso, which declared a state of emergency., but by evening that figure was re-evaluated to 3,000. There was no containment Tuesday night.
No injuries were reported, but the area's structure losses were the worst so far among the state's four wildfires of concern this week. Ruidoso was also experiencing power outages, officials said. The wildfire has damaged or destroyed one home and 18 outbuildings, such as sheds, garages and barns, the state officials said.the state has submitted a request for a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant that could help get more resources to fight the Big Hole Fire.
