...flee their homes in northern part of the state, as a fast-moving blaze destroyed several buildings and threatened hundreds more. The fire has consumed 7,000 acres, mostly national forest, and has reportedly come within ten miles of vacation towns Red River, Taos and Eagle Nest. In La Lama, about 23 buildings, including ten belonging to the Lama Foundation spiritual community, have been destroyed. The fire began Sunday as a small trash fire.
