The Frijoles Fire poses significant risks to communities and natural areas in northern New Mexico. The fire's growth is being fueled by lightning strikes and erratic wind gusts from thunderstorms, which can spread flames unpredictably. Additionally, heavy precipitation in burn scar areas could lead to flash flooding, compounding the risks. Santa Fe County has issued 'Ready' status for the Borrego Mesa area and 'Set' status for parts of Cundiyó and Cerro Piñon, with Camino de Cañon already under 'Go' status, requiring evacuation. The village of Cordova remains in 'Ready' status, urging residents to prepare for potential evacuation.
