Santa Fe is ringed by dry piñon-juniper and high-elevation conifer forest in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Persistent drought, spring winds, and dense fuels make the surrounding national forest highly susceptible to large, fast-moving fires that also threaten the city’s water supply.
The 2022 Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire northeast of Santa Fe became the largest wildfire in New Mexico history, burning over 340,000 acres — ignited in part by escaped federal prescribed burns.

Is this an official Santa Fe emergency map?
No. FireRisk is an awareness tool built on official NIFC and NWS data — it complements but never replaces Santa Fe’s official alerts, local fire authorities, and 911.
Awareness only — built on official NIFC (fires) and NWS (fire weather) data, which can lag real conditions. For Santa Fe evacuation orders follow Santa Fe Fire Department, Watch Duty, and call 911 in an emergency.
