**Start Date/Time/Location** The Seven Springs Fire started on June 17, 2025, in the Mescalero area of New Mexico, specifically on Mescalero Apache tribal land and a small portion of Forest Service land southwest of Mescalero and northwest of Cloudcroft[1][2][5]. **Size and Containment** As of June 24, 2025, the fire has burned approximately 805 acres and is 66% contained[2][3][5]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** Initially reported at around 200 acres, the fire quickly grew to 350 acres and eventually to its current size of 805 acres. The fire has been burning in steep, rugged, and remote terrain, which has presented challenges for containment[1][4][5]. **Containment Efforts** The fire is being managed by the Southwest Incident Management Team, with over 300 personnel involved, including 9 crews, 13 engines, 1 helicopter, 2 water tenders, 1 dozer, and 1 excavator. The team has made significant progress in constructing and improving handlines, securing hot spots, and conducting small burnout operations to mitigate the fire's spread[1][2][3].
