Sierra Los Pinos

Ignitions are complete on the Peggy fire for a total of 886 acres.

We had hot and dry conditions in the morning and early afternoon. This allowed us to finish bringing fire down into deer creek drainage and also strip out the remainder of the interior green pockets.

Hello everyone,

The Peggy fire is currently estimated at 462 acres.

Sandoval county has advised that we need to be on the lookout (BOLO) for a person by name of Brian Griffin. They apparently accidentally released him this afternoon. He was wearing grey sweat pants, and a black short-sleeve tee shirt. He is also wearing a baseball cap; he has a shaven head. The county requests that if we see this person, call 911.

Good evening,
Do not be alarmed with the smoke in the neighborhood. It is coming from the Peggy Mesa prescribed burn, and FS is keeping an eye on it.

Good morning,
So, the bears are still around, and game and fish will not relocate for now.
It was suggested that a mixture of ammonia and water 50/50 will keep bears away from your deck. Please be careful!

There have been multiple sightings of a male bear and sow with 2 cubs. Several people are concerned with the shooting going on in the neighborhood. Other than personal safety, DO NOT SHOOT in our neighborhood. It is UNLAWFUL to discharge a firearm within 150 yards of a home or road, and incredibly dangerous in close quarters of other homes. Not to mention a wounded bear is a dangerous bear. I have attached a helpful document on "keeping bears alive, and you safe". It has several numbers for Game and Fish. I am notifying them about our neighborhood situation.
