New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Tuesday asked President Joe Biden to declare a disaster.
LAS VEGAS, N.M. -- New Mexico's governor asked President Joe Biden on Tuesday to declare a disaster as firefighters scrambled to clear brush, build fire lines and spray water to keep the largest blaze burning in the U.S. from destroying more homes in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
A battery of fire engines and their crews were busy Tuesday clearing brush, building fire lines and spraying water to keep the largest wildfire in the U.S. from pushing into a small northeastern New Mexico city where some residents have already left and many are packed up and ready to go if winds shift again.
