**Start Date/Time/Location** The Buck Fire was reported on June 11, 2025, southeast of Aragon, New Mexico, in the Gila National Forest. It was initially a 550-acre fire caused by lightning[1][4][5]. **Size and Containment** As of June 22, 2025, the fire has burned 57,753 acres and is 88% contained[1][4]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire rapidly expanded from its initial size, reaching 35,000 acres by Monday, June 17, and then jumping to 57,736 acres by Tuesday, June 18. Since then, it has not grown significantly[4]. **Containment Efforts** The fire is being managed with a full suppression strategy. Crews have successfully secured the northern section of the uncontained fireline and are now focused on mopping up and patrolling for hotspots. Chipping operations to reduce accumulated fuel are nearly complete, and engines are monitoring the southern and southeastern fire edges for any lingering smoke[1].
