Lightning strikes during a Sunday afternoon thunderstorm in Grant County have ignited two fires in different parts of the county.
One of those fires is the Lampbright fire. It's located east of Mimbres, just north of NM highway 52. There is no containment in this fire, which has burned about 20 acres on private land. Type 3 helicopter drops were made this afternoon. U.S. Forest Service and local fire crews are at that scene.
The Bullard fire is located in the Big Burro Mountains, near Bullard Peak and southwest of U.S. highway 180. It's burned somewhere between 80 and 100 acres. It has not been determined whether the fire is in the Gila National Forest, state land or private land. Fire crews have not been able to get to the scene, because of the terrain in the area.
