SANTA FE, NM - Fire managers on the lightning-caused Commissary Fire on the Santa Fe National Forest's Pecos/Las Vegas Ranger District are wrapping up operations on the 1,700-acre fire. The Commissary Fire started on June 5 and has been managed over the past few weeks to improve forest health.
Located 13 miles east of Pecos, NM, and two miles south of Barillas Peak, the Commissary Fire area will continue to be patrolled by fire crews. As remaining interior fuel continues to burn, lingering smoke may be visible.
