Paramount Fire Wildfire

Paramount Fire has burned 1,335 acres, burning 45 miles north of Arenas Valley.

Latest update

The Paramount Fire was reported Friday, July 12 along the north side of New Mexico Highway 59 near milepost 20. It is approximately 19 miles west of Winston, New Mexico. Due to the fire's location within the Indian Peaks planning area, recent fire history, accessible terrain with an existing road network, and to meet the Forest's objectives to allow fire to play its natural role in the ecosystem while limiting risk and exposure to firefighters, a confine and contain strategy will be applied to keep the fire within a 1,335-acre footprint. Forest Roads 4070U and 4066Z, along with New Mexico Highway 59 will be used to contain the fire. Firing actions are complete and all containment lines are secure.
