Seven Springs Fire Update:

June 19, 2025 by Mescalero Apache Tribe

The current situation regarding the Seven Springs Fire is quite alarming. This evening, Incident Commander Nathan Curnett conducted a meeting to provide an update on the ongoing crisis. The challenging terrain, characterized by its rugged and steep landscapes, poses significant difficulties for firefighting crews. In light of the circumstances, additional teams have been ordered to assist in combating the blaze.

Furthermore, air support remains actively engaged in efforts to control the fire from above. As of now, a total of 782 acres have been scorched, and unfortunately, the containment stands at a concerning 0%. It is imperative that the firefighting teams execute their strategies with both efficiency and safety, given the precarious conditions. Keeping the local community informed, as well as prioritizing the safety of both the firefighters and nearby residents, is of utmost importance during this challenging time.
