According to Bosque Farms Police Department, the fire has been contained to the bosque while fire crews are extinguishing hot spots.

[3] Less wind but rain, snow on the way for New Mexico – Fast-moving wispy clouds are occasionally passing through New Mexico on Friday. It's mostly clear for most of the state with calmer westerly winds. However, winds are still strong enough, allowing for air to descend down the east slopes of the mountains while leading to a warmer effect at the dry surface, resulting in the above-normal morning temperatures in the Rio Grande Valley to southern communities of New Mexico. Many will be starting off in the 50s to the 60s, with a few areas in Southeast New Mexico starting off in the lower 70s. Freezing temperatures are occurring for a few areas in the Northern Mountains to the Northeast Highlands with northeasterly winds developing.
