A fire broke out yesterday near McGaffey.
It is situated south of Fort Wingate and Jamestown. We're keeping an eye on this.
According to the McKinley County Fire & Rescue:
Strong work today by McKinley County Fire Rescue. We had 4 confirmed Wildland Fires today. Also had two more called in that were found to be the forest fire in McGaffey. Thank you also for assistance by Gallup Fire Department and the US Forest Service. Three are out but the Forest Service is still on scene of the Merrill Fire in McGaffey. Additional resources will be arriving in the morning. Our units were released this evening. Good job everyone.
