New Mexico is high mountainous desert, and every summer the threat of fires is very real. You can help your community, your neigbors, and our readers by participating in this year's Fire Blog.

Each year around this time we create a space for readers to share with us your experiences. Use the comment form below to report any fire or smoke conditions, sightings, health effects, etc in your area. Fire activity can change rapidly, so your experiences shared on our continually-updated website will be valuable, real, timely and independent information for the entire community.

Don't forget to send us photos as well, if you can: you can upload you photos directly at this link, or you can email them to webeditor@sfnewmexican.com .

Help keep Northern New Mexico safe and informed this season!
