• The Mesa Camino treatment area is located near Forest Road 77 in the Mesa Alta area, seven miles northwest of Gallina and six miles north of State Road 96. Approximately 1,075 acres remain to be burned.
• The Gallina Wildland Urban Interface project area is located one mile south of Gallina off State Road 96. Fire managers plan on burning 50 to 100 acres per day.
Smoke released from either burn may be visible from Ghost Ranch, the Rio Chama Monastery, Abiquiú and possibly Chama and Española.
