Ball Field Fire Morning Update – June 9, 2021

The Ball Field Fire started at 11:30 a.m on Tuesday, June 8 off of Ski Run Road and Highway 48 above the ball fields in the Village of Ruidoso. Ruidoso Fire Department (RFD) kept 6 firefighters on the Ball Field Fire throughout the night. Those crews worked on keeping the fire within the containment lines. The wind was an issue blowing embers and causing some slop-over, however, everything is still burning on the interior of the containment lines at this time. RFD will have 10 crew members working today to mop up and clean up the line around it. The fire is 50% contained and is holding at 25 acres.

We will continue to provide updates and tune into 1490 AM KRUI - The Mountain for the latest.
