Fire Still Burning
Even if Cinder is safe, the fire that torched her homeland continues to burn. As of Friday, the fire had burned 312,230 acres and was 47% contained. Firefighters expressed hope in a press conference held earlier this week that a spate of colder weather could help contain the fire, but they warned Friday that weather conditions could worsen and keep the fire going. All of New Mexico was under a fire warning from the National Weather Service from Friday through Saturday thanks to high winds, low humidity, and above-average temperatures.
