    Default Perfect Recipe for Extreme Wildfire: New Mexico’s Record-Breaking, Early Fire Season

    Fueled by abnormally dry, warm conditions and spread by strong winds, wildfires have burned more than 600,000 acres across New Mexico this spring — making it one of the worst fire years in the state’s recorded history. And there’s at least another month of peak fire risk ahead.

    It’s an ominous sign for the rest of the American West, where the fire season tends to start later, but where conditions are similarly primed to burn.

    Default In worsening drought, Southern California water restrictions take effect

    On Wednesday, new restrictions on outdoor water use went into effect for more than 6 million residents in the Los Angeles area. The rules, set by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, limit outdoor watering to one day per week in many jurisdictions — while others opted to stay below a volume limit — as authorities try to dramatically reduce urban water use amid the record-breaking drought fueled by the warming climate.

    Yes. However, the Forest Service said that it set a prescribed fire and they lost control of it. Worst wildfire in NM history.
