The Ski Run fire that has scorched 250 acres in the Lincoln
National Forest north of Ruidoso is about 10% contained.

Fire information officer Beth Wilson said 225 people are
fighting the fire with four helicopters, eight fire engines,
three water tenders, and a bulldozer. They’re cleaning up
spot fires, working to protect structures, and are clearing a
line around the blaze.

Nearly 40 summer homes and cabins in the area were
evacuated soon after the fire started Monday near New
Mexico 532.

The fire is believed to be human-caused. It’s been burning
mostly conifer trees and ponderosa pine trees in steep
terrain.
