Laguna Wildfire (NMSNF)

Wildfire Status:

The Laguna Wildfire, located in the Coyote Ranger District of the Santa Fe National Forest, has been actively burning since June 25, 2025. As of now, the fire has spread across approximately 11,334 acres and is reported to be 87% contained. The fire is primarily fueled by oak brush, Pinyon-juniper, and ponderosa pine, with low-intensity surface fire observed and moderate rates of spread. Fortunately, the Laguna Wildfire currently poses no threat to surrounding communities or properties.

Fire management efforts are underway with a total of 174 personnel actively engaged in firefighting operations. The Santa Fe National Forest fire managers are employing both aerial and ground resources to combat the fire. They are prioritizing firefighter and public safety while also aiming to protect water quality in nearby watersheds, water systems, and springs. The fire is expected to play a role in restoring ecological processes over the approximately 13,000 acres of forest land, as it is burning in areas that have previously undergone thinning and prescribed burns.

In terms of weather conditions, there are no specific details provided, but the management strategy includes firing operations to help manage the fire's intensity and spread. A closure order for the fire area is set to take effect on July 2, 2025, as part of the ongoing efforts to ensure safety in the region. Fire crews are preparing containment lines and executing careful management to mitigate any potential risks as they continue to monitor and control the wildfire.
