Firefighters in New Mexicos Gila Wilderness are battling the Hummingbird Fire, which has scorched over 3,000 acres and is at zero percent containment. Last night, crews ran defensive firing ops to protect the Willow Creek Subdivision. Winds have calmed, allowing planes to drop retardant and water. The fire is pushing northeast, but crews are using old handlines and trails to slow it. Willow Creek and nearby areas are under heavy smoke, and a temporary flight restriction and full fire closure are in place. More resources have arrived for structure protection, and plans are to fire up the western perimeter again and strengthen northeast lines. Conditions remain challenging, but these moves are buying time to protect homes and secure the flanks.
