Saturday's rain aided firefighting efforts, however, the storm was not enough to lift the Stage 3 fire restrictions within the Jemez Mountain area where a fire 10 miles west of Los Alamos sparked last Thursday. According to the Valles Caldera National Preserve, the San Antonio Fire started June 14 in the northwest corner of the preserve. As of June 19, the fire is at 495 acres and is 20 percent contained. Officials say the fire was lightning caused and no structures are currently threatened. Resources consist of 263 fire personnel, and the Albuquerque Zone Incident Management Type 3 Team is on the scene.
