Nuclear Watch New Mexico reports:

"It was a very smokey day here in Santa Fe and across north-central New Mexico as the 25-mile wide Las Conchas Fire continues to burn north across Santa Clara Pueblo lands and south across the Bandelier National Monument into Canada de Cochiti, reports say the perimeter is only 3% contained. Last night’s light rains may have helped lift spirits but the fire remains active even in some spots near the Lab."
