ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – Firefighters worked in cooler, calmer weather Saturday to clear lines around a blaze that has burned nearly 60 homes and more than 20 square miles in the mountains of central New Mexico.

Authorities were able to confirm Saturday that 50 homes burned Wednesday in a fire caused by humans in the Manzano Mountains, souteast of Albuquerque, said Linda Peters, a fire information officer. Nine homes had burned earlier. The 50 homes – most in an area called Sherwood Forest, west of the community of Torreon – went up Wednesday after the fire jumped containment lines.

The tally was conducted Friday and Saturday when the ashes from the 13,790-acre fire had cooled enough to allow authorities in, Peters said.
