Smoke from wildfires burning throughout the southwestern United States settled in parts of the KSJD listening area Wednesday morning. The Bonita fire northwest of Taos has burnedover 7,000 acres, and two fires near Flagstaff have each burned over 4,000 acres. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the smoke has impacted air quality in southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico, but the effects are not extreme enough to cause serious concern. Fire danger is expected to remain high through the end of the week throughout the Southwest, as hot and dry temperatures increase the spread and intensity of fires.
