South Fork Fire Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) report (via @pjdohertygis )

The South Fork and Salt fires, which ignited on June 17, 2024, burned 17,066 and 7,688 acres, respectively, significantly impacting Lincoln National Forest. The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) program assessed the damage, focusing on soil burn severity, hydrology, and critical values such as human safety, roads, recreation sites, and cultural resources. Collaborative efforts with various agencies aim to mitigate post-fire risks and support recovery.

6/25/24 update on South Fork and Salt Fires from FEMA. 3 fatalities, 16 missing people (per FEMA, which will be behind local officials). #SouthForkFire #SaltFire #NMwx #disaster #Ruidoso

#Ruidoso #NewMexico #Wildfires #wildfire #LincolnCounty

#SouthForkFire
Deads: 3
Injuries: 3
Missing / unaccounted for: 14

#SaltFire
Deads: 0
Injuries: 2
Missing: 0

Per the KOB coverage: "“We do have a lot of people unaccounted for it this time. I’m not saying that they may be at shelter somewhere, we haven’t found them. So those will become crime scenes, once the bodies discovered or remnants, then they have to come in and forensically take care of that. That takes time. So we have all those areas boxed off,” said Ruidoso Mayor Lynn Crawford.

Village leaders revealed Sunday recovery teams have already identified more potential deaths, but it appears those are still under investigation."

#SouthForkFire #SaltFire #Ruidoso #disaster #wildfire

Update: 2 killed, 29 missing per local media. Need to get the latest FEMA numbers, think it's 3 confirmed fatalities now.

"Officials already confirmed two people were killed in these fires, but at least 29 people are still missing right now. It appears village leaders believe they may be in the exclusion zones."
