Hermits Peak Fire
Publication Type: News -
North Zone (SWIMT3): Firefighters in the Pot Creek area continue constructing rolling dips on Forest Road 418 to prevent soil erosion. Suppression repair work, including chipping brush, repairing cut fences, leveling areas where equipment was parked, and constructing runoff water bars, continues around Mora, Holman, Guadalupita, Chacon, along NM Highways 518 and 434 corridors, and other areas. A repair group comprised of three hand crews, engines, and heavy equipment continue to clean debris from culverts and drainage ditches. Firefighters assigned to the incident are available to respond to any new fire starts within the north zone fire area.
South Zone (GBIMT7): Yesterday, crews were able to access and repair dozer line on the southwest corner of the fire. Excavators continue to repair and rehabilitate dozer line on the southern portion of the fire. Resources were able to repair dozer line near Chavez Trail. Weather is preventing access to the higher elevations. Due to current and predicted weather, fire managers are working to shift resources to the eastern portion of the fire to focus on suppression repair on private land.

Weather: Monsoonal moisture will remain in place over the area through much of the upcoming week.
