Summary
The Bear Fire in the Gila National Forest is nearly contained at 97%, having burned 7,700 acres since it sparked by lightning on June 9. With 200 firefighters still on scene, crews are now focused on repair work and debris cleanup, having secured key sites like Mangas Lookout. Weather remains hostile—hot, dry, and windy—with flight restrictions in place and drones banned. Firefighters are drawing water from Quemado Lake and private sources, urging the public to stay away from active zones. Smoke persists, so air quality checks are vital, especially for sensitive individuals. Meanwhile, the forest remains under Stage One fire restrictions due to drought, limiting campfires to designated areas and banning open burning in Catron County.
