Calm and cool weather conditions greeted firefighters early Monday as they tried to gain the upper hand on a blaze that has burned 59 homes and more than 21 square miles in central New Mexico's Manzano Mountains. The human-caused fire began April 15 and has been burning mainly west of the small communities of Manzano and Torreon. There were 809 people assigned to the blaze along with an air tanker, five helicopters, 34 engines, 12 water tenders and four bulldozers. The fire burned nine homes days after it started, and another 50 were burned last Wednesday when wind gusting to 60 mph blew burning embers about three-quarters of a mile outside containment lines. The fire has been burning oak brush and pinon, juniper and mixed conifer trees on the east side of the Manzanos, where the terrain varies from relatively flat lower areas to rugged higher country. The firefighters have been busily working to put out the fire since windy weather could return by Tuesday afternoon.
