National Nuclear Weapons Laboratory In New Mexico Under Threat Of Wildfire! Evacs Ongoing!
[link to beta.news.yahoo.com]

SANTA FE, New Mexico - Voluntary evacuations have been issued for Los Alamos, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is threatened by a fast-moving wildfire that broke out in northern New Mexico on Sunday, authorities said.
The Las Conchas Fire flared early Sunday afternoon around 12 miles southwest of Los Alamos, charring about 3,500 acres and endangering the nation's nuclear weapons laboratory and its surrounding communities, said Lawrence Lujan, a spokesman for the Santa Fe National Forest.
"We have homes and we have the labs, so it's a very, very big concern, not only locally but nationally and globally," Lujan said.
"This fire is very complex. We have a national type one team coming in because of the nature of the fire," he said.
New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez has ordered the New Mexico National Guard to Los Alamos to provide support for the ongoing efforts to protect lives, property and critical infrastructure threatened by the fire.
"My administration will make every effort to provide support for local emergency response crews," said Governor Martinez.
"With evacuations in place and the fire burning quickly, it is important that residents in the surrounding communities remain attentive to the local emergency operations' alerts and orders," she added.

The last time there was a big fire in Los Alamos, they had been talking about the major cleanup that was about to be performed there to clean up what had been dumped in the area there from 1945 and on.

Just one day before this, most recent fire broke out, I heard on the local news, ( I live in NM) That they were planning to do a major cleanup because of all the debris that had been dumped there over the years from 1945 and on......

Next day I heard about the fire.

Talk about yer deja vu.....

Make of it what you will, but with the fire they will be saving 100's of millions of dollars in clean up costs, or delaying it like happened the last time.

Situation Update No. 3
On 27.06.2011 at 14:29 GMT+2

A fast-moving wildfire forced officials at the Los Alamos National Laboratory to close the site Monday as residents nearby evacuated their homes. The fire has grown to between 6 and 9 square miles of mixed conifer and ponderosa pine and firefighters have no containment. The blaze started at around 1 p.m. Sunday on private land about 12 miles southwest of the town of Los Alamos. Between 50 and 100 rural homes were under mandatory evacuations, and Los Alamos County authorities have issued voluntary evacuation orders for both Los Alamos and White Rock. The laboratory has activated its emergency operations center. Officials said in a news release that all radioactive and hazardous material was being protected and the fire had not yet crossed onto the laboratory property. The fire is 1 mile southwest of the boundary of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The government site was founded during World War II to develop the world's first nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, the biggest wildfire in Arizona history is now 82 percent contained after burning through 538,000 acres in the White Mountains in northeast Arizona. The fire started May 29 and has destroyed 32 homes. It's believed to have been caused by a campfire.

Just me or is the stories really mixed up and gov't can't keep story straight?

I thought residents were under "forced voluntary evacuations" not "mandatory" evacuations. Also, why did this 'update' divert attention away from the fire near Los Alamos, which is 0% contained, to the fire in Arizona which they ended by saying is "82%" contained.

For someone who didn't carefully read the article... they might just interpret it as now the fire is 82% contained.

I like that site a lot by the way, unfortunately, their info is only as fast as it is released to us. Therefore, sometimes I wonder if I could use it as an immediate/emergency monitor. Either way, I like the world map feed VERY much. rant

they learned their lesson from the cerro grande fire 11 years ago.

the only residents under forced evacuation are those in jemez springs and las conchas. white rock and los alamos are mandatory.

also the article isn't that confusing unless you suck at reading comprehension, which is possible.
