Little Bear Fire
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Little Bear Fire was a wildfire in New Mexico that burned 44,330 acres and 254 buildings, making it the most destructive of human structures wildfire in the state's history.[1][2] The previously most destructive fire was the Cerro Grande Fire. The fire began on June 4, 2012 from a lightning strike and quickly grew out of control due to dry windy conditions.[3] The Little Bear Fire was 90 percent contained as of June 26, 2012.[4]
Ultimately there was no loss of human life as all but one couple in the evacuation zone said they received at least one call to evacuate the area.[5] The New Mexico government was very proactive in notifying the general public about the fire and it mitigated damages.[5]
