Mora/Las Vegas/Pecos Residents File Lawsuits Over Fire Information

Mora, San Miguel and Pecos residents who have been damaged by the recent wildfires
filed a lawsuit alleging the U.S. Forest Service failed to provide adequate information
about the blaze. The suit, filed in federal court in Albuquerque, names as defendants
the Forest Service and its regional office in Albuquerque.

Hermits Peak Fire and Calf Canyon Fire

The Hermits Peak Fire and Calf Canyon Fires, were started by the United States Forest
Service when prescribed burns got out of control. The Forest Service started the burns
using old information, not accounting for current drought conditions or weather in the
area. That weather created uncontrollable wind that led to over 300,000 acres of New
Mexico’s pristine forests being burned.

Roybal-Mack & Cordova is currently investigating whether a mass action lawsuit is appropriate in the case of the New Mexico wildfires. Please contact us today if you would like to be included in this investigation. We are also pursuing a comprehensive Federal legislation to help Northern New Mexico recovery. 505.288.3500
