All 2026 Rio Arriba County Fires · 5 fires

A fire is listed here when it is located in Rio Arriba County. Each complex is counted once, through its parent: the parent carries the complex's acres, and its member fires are listed beneath it without being counted again. A fire that crossed a county line is listed with the acres that burned in Rio Arriba County, not its whole reported size. A fire located elsewhere that burned into Rio Arriba County is listed too, at its Rio Arriba County acres, and is not added to the Rio Arriba County fire counts. County lines come from a different boundary dataset than state lines, so Rio Arriba County's acres are counted along county lines and can differ a little at the edges from the figures on the state page.
