Firefighters continue to battle a wind-driven blaze that may have taken two lives. The fire has burned at least 200 homes, barns and other structures in a mountain community in drought-stricken New Mexico. The remains of an elderly couple were found near their burned home by police investigators and firefighters after family members notified Ruidoso police that the two had tried to evacuate but were unaccounted for. No additional information was immediately available. Authorities were working to confirm the identities of the two people. The fire moved into a more densely populated area on Ruidoso’s northeastern side Wednesday afternoon, prompting more evacuations. Laura Rabon, a spokesperson for the Lincoln National Forest, interrupted a fire briefing and told people to get in their cars and leave after the flames jumped a road where crews were trying to hold the line. Authorities have told as many as 4,500 people to evacuate. Overnight, crews kept the flames from pushing further into the village, Rabon said. 📸 Alexander Meditz via AP Justin Garcia /The Las Cruces Sun News via AP
