Hundreds battle New Mexico fire

RESERVE, N.M. -- Hundreds of firefighters worked on Saturday keep a 37,000-acre wildfire from spreading, despite gusty wind and lightning that were accompanied by only a little rain.

The fire in the Gila National Forest was about 40 percent contained, unchanged from Friday.

Crews worked to clear brush and create a fire break around about 20 summer cabins in the Elk Springs subdivision, fire information officer Dave Wells said. The subdivision was about 3 to 4 miles northwest of the fire in southwestern New Mexico and no homes were in immediate danger, he said.
