Doña Ana County, NM— The Doña Ana County Fire and Rescue Department (DAFR) remained on scene Wednesday at Stahmann Farms, where crews continued working to fully extinguish the flames and reduce the smoke caused by the fire that broke out Monday night. in nut storage facilities. By 6:55 a.m., firefighters were still working hard to control hot spots inside the building.
Although the fire had been contained within the original structure, heavy smoke continued to rise from the site due to the collapse of the concrete roof. High heat levels still prevented demolition contractors from safely accessing the interior of the building.
The DAFR maintained close monitoring of the situation, applying water to prevent a re-ignition of the fire and ensuring the safety of all people on site. Authorities reiterated their advice to nearby residents to avoid exposure to smoke, especially those with respiratory conditions.
