Over Mother’s Day weekend, fire prevention patrols on the Jemez Ranger District found 18 abandoned campfires. The Pecos/Las Vegas Ranger District was not far behind with an estimated 10 abandoned campfires reported over the last 10 days. Most of the abandoned campfires – still the leading human cause of wildfire – are found at dispersed campsites.
