The wildfire that surrounds the nuclear lab in Los Alamos, New Mexico, has grown to at least 61,000 acres amid mounting concerns about what might be in the smoke that's visible from space.

Such fear has prompted the Environmental Protection Agency to bring in air monitors, along with a special airplane that checks for radiation levels. So far officials have not been able to find anything. "Our facilities and nuclear material are protected and safe," Laboratory Director Dr. Charles McMillan told ABC News.

Not good..... I almost lost a home to a early 90’s Tijeras Canyon Fire that started on Kirtland AFB.

Prayers up for these folks.....

Now we have wildfires up here in the Panhandle of Texas more and more in these dry days.

Pray for rain folks !

Thanks for the picture.
