Information on two fires in our neighborhood from Chief Lee Taylor.
The WEST fire on Holiday Mesa is estimated at 1/2 acre, a decision will be made this afternoon whether to suppress or manage it.
See below for information on another lightning strike fire, this one on the VCNP.
Neither of these are easily visible from SR. 4, if the WEST fire is determined to be manageable that will change as there is several hundred acres that may be "treated".

Lee,
There is a .1 acre fire on the Valles Caldera on the NE side of Cerro Seco. We are looking at the area to see if this fire might be a candidate for managed fire. With the current forecast, which calls for chance of showers almost every day, this fire might go the way of the fire on LaJara last month. I will keep you in the loop.
