A 10-acre brush fire Feb. 21 in the bosque north of Santa Claran Casino brought 15 firefighters to the scene with about a half dozen brush trucks and tender units (tankers). Española Fire Department Lt. Theresa Martinez was scene commander for the fire. She said her Department set up a command post in the north parking lot of the Casino about 2:30 p.m. and immediately established it was more than the one department could handle. “We paged for more manpower and tenders,” she said Monday in a telephone interview. “And we contacted Santa Clara forestry and BIA because it’s reservation property.” Seven firefighters from Española were on scene as well as two from La Mesilla Volunteer Fire Department and two from Santa Clara Volunteer Fire Department. “At one point the fire got within about 150 feet of structures on West Pueblo,” Martinez said.
