A fire near Ruidoso, New Mexico has destroyed more than 200 homes and killed at least two people.
Douglas Siddens’ mother was among those who made it out with just the clothes on her back when a deadly, wind-fueled wildfire ripped through a mountain community in southern New Mexico.
Hundreds of homes and summer cabins dot the surrounding mountainsides. The RV park that Siddens managed is near where an elderly couple was found dead this week outside their charred residence. Donations poured in from surrounding communities all too familiar with just how devastating wildfires can be.
Smoke from the McBride Fire rises near an intersection in Ruidoso, New Mexico, on Wednesday, April 13, 2022.Authorities have yet to release the names of the couple who died. Their bodies were found after worried family members contacted police, saying the couple had planned to evacuate Tuesday when the fire exploded but were unaccounted for later that day.
Part-time residents have taken to social media over the last few days, pleading with fire officials for updates on certain neighborhoods, hoping their family cabins weren’t among those damaged or destroyed.
