The U.S. Forest Service’s own prescribed burn started a sprawling 2022 wildfire that nearly reached Los Alamos, New Mexico, the agency acknowledged Monday in a report published after a lengthy investigation.
Investigators traced the wildfire to a burn of piles of forest debris commissioned by the Forest Service. The burn became a holdover fire, smoldering undetected under wet snow, with no signs of smoke or heat for months, said Southwestern Regional Forester Michiko Martin. The federal government already has acknowledged that it started the largest wildfire in state history, which charred more than 530 square miles of the Rocky Mountain foothills east of Santa Fe, New Mexico, destroying homes and livelihoods.
