Fire mystery at Snowflake/Sugar Bush corner lot solved

Otero Electric lineman said telephone line (TDS or Windstream?) got into power line and started the fire.

Still no clue who put out the fire because winds were still gusting up to 70 mph Tuesday morning, June 9. Lot looks good in photo because all the rest of the dry weeds have been chopped down since the fire.

Still very dry here, so always be careful with fire and be alert to your surroundings.

Big winds - fire and falling trees

BIG winds Monday night (June 8) & Tuesday morning (June 9) up to 70 mph gust. Sometime before 9 am Tuesday morning, this burn occurred on the corner lot of Sugar Bush & Snowflake. Yet no one seems to know anything about it or even who put it out. Scary, if wind was from the normal direction, SW, would have blown right to the houses.  IT IS DRY OUT THERE!!!!!

BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE

Tree fell on house from the wind

Rainfall - or the lack thereof. Therefore, FIRE DANGER high. Be careful!

really?! ONE day it rained? AGH!
