President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit New Mexico next week for a briefing on the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon wildfire that has scorched nearly 500 square miles of wilderness and private property, and displaced thousands of residents from rural villages over the past two months, the White House announced Friday.

Biden is scheduled to meet with Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, firefighters, Federal Emergency Management Agency workers and others during his June 11 visit to the state Emergency Operation Center in Santa Fe.

“I appreciate the U.S. Forest Service assuming responsibility for the federal actions that caused this terrible crisis," Lujan Grisham said in a statement issued after the announcement on the cause of the Calf Canyon Fire.

“It is evident that the federal government must take a hard look at their fire management practices and make sure they account for a rapidly changing climate," she added.
