Day three of the Las Conchas Fire<\/a> by Los Alamos, New Mexico brought some tepidly optimistic news during a news conference. While the fire has grown to over 60,000 acres with the probability of it reaching 100,000 and it is still 0% contained, the winds are not as strong as they were on the first couple of days and they are blowing back onto the burned areas and up around passed the city. Plus there is an enormous amount of resources fighting the fire as it is now the highest priority fire in all the United States because of LANL<\/a>.\u00a0For part of the day\u00a0I was\u00a0again\u00a0updating my brother with new information while he was out helping at evacuation shelters. Power has not been cut to the city in hopes the residence might be able to start returning by the end of the week, as long as the winds don’t change and start blowing the fire back towards Los Alamos.<\/p>\n

Fire acreage: 61,000<\/p>\n
