Fire news, information and media…

Trying to get latest information is keeping residents glued to news sources. Here’s what I’ve found for sources and also the latest info… –
Wallow Fire in AZ as of 6/26 is now in NM, 80% contained, largest fire in AZ history, 538,048, burning since May. Smoke has been hanging over SF all June.
Pacheco Fire 9 miles n of Santa Fe started 6/18, is 10% contained and 9,300 acres burned, two miles north of SF ski basin. SF watershed threatened.
Los Conchas fire broke out 6/27 12 miles sw of Los Alamos at 1:00 pm. Flames and smoke visible, fire grew to point of threatening LA and voluntary evacuations started at 7:00 pm. 5,000 acres burned within first 12 hours. In a little more than 24 hours (by 2:30 pm) it was scary-big, up to 50,000 acres, high winds kicking back in. 70 sq miles. By today it is sad and depressing: 6/29 – 95 square miles — about 60,000 acres+, one mile from Los Alamos. The city was evacuated yesterday. High winds, red flag dry conditions are fueling fires. Las Alamos citizens are reliving the trauma of the **Cerro Grande** Fire in 2000 which grew to 48,000 acres. This Las Conchas fire grew past that in the first 24 hours. The entire area is shell shocked, stunned and sad. Fire chief, quoted on KOAT today, said it could easily grow to 100,000 acres.
Trying to get latest information is keeping residents glued to news sources. In the fires in the early 2000s the Santa Fe New Mexican had blogs with citizen reporters giving the newest information. Twitter… Stacey Matlock with the New Mexican is one to follow. Here are good tags:

This article was concerning as local news has nothing about radiation or nuclear waste concerns. Friends say they are tired of smoke, they are taking in evacuees, they are trying to get latest information on fire, safety, they are saddened and depressed.
