The Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon fire has grown to over 299 acres.
It officially surpassed the Whitewater-Baldy Fire as the largest fire in New Mexico's history on Monday. That fire, which was caused by lightning and also consisted of two separate fires that merged, had burned 297,845 acres primarily in the Gila National Forest before being contained in late July 2012.
Residents of San Miguel, Mora, Taos and Colfax counties are advised to remain on"high alert" Tuesday for evacuation updates and road closures, officials said. "The challenge of predicting how wildfires move, the best experts in the world on this topic still are not going to get it right," Dr. Jason Knievel, deputy director for the National Center for Atmospheric Research, told Albuquerque ABC affiliate KOAT this week.
