Tucson firefighters are contributing to efforts in the New Mexico Black Fire, which has been burning for over two weeks now. The Black Fire has burned approximately 254,840 acres in the Hila wilderness area and is currently 25% contained.
The Tucson Fire Department shared yesterday three of their personnel have been deployed to assist with efforts in the neighboring state as part of the REMS Team.
Tucson firefighters, with the Northwest Fire District,"have been drilling hard to stay ready for any rescue scenario," shared the TFD in a two-part tweet. The Gila National Forest, like many public wildlands in Southern Arizona, enacted Stage 2 fire restrictions in May.
