The Trigo Fire was a disastrous〔("Governor declares Torrance County disaster area" ''KOB TV '' May 2, 2008 )〕 wildfire in New Mexico, United States of America that occurred during April and May 2008. It affected the communities of Manzano, Torreon and Tajique, burned 59 homes〔("InciWeb: Trigo Fire Update 5.06.2008 10:00pm" Southwest Area Incident Management Team, Southwest Coordination Center (SWCC) )〕 and over . The fire was discovered the morning of 15 April 2008, approximately ten miles east of Belen, and had already burned some on the western slopes of the Manzano Mountains.〔("Trigo Fire Timeline" ''KOAT TV'' April 20, 2008, updated May 7, 2008 )〕〔( "Aircraft expected today to fight Trigo Fire" ''KRQE TV '' April 16, 2008, updated April 16, 2008 )〕 The fire was 100% contained on 11 May 2008 and the last smoke sighted and extinguished was on 22 May. The US Forest Service said that the fire would not be completely out until snow blanketed the area in December.〔(Nesbitt, Laura (15 May 2008) "N.M. investigators seek origin of on-going Trigo Fire" ''The Mountain View Telegraph'' )〕
==Origin==
The fire began early in the morning on the 15th of April 2008 in Trigo Canyon (labeled Cañon del Trigo on the USGS map〔(Capilla Peak, N. Mex. Quadrangle 34106-F4-TF-024 1954, photoinspected 1975, DMA 4753 III NW series V891 )〕) on the west side of the Manzano Mountains. ''Trigo'' is the Spanish word for wheat which was once grown in the lower reaches of the canyon. There is a dirt road up into the canyon and fire investigators determined that there were individuals present in the canyon during the morning of the day the fire began.〔 The fire is believed to have been caused by human negligence.〔 On the morning of the 15th, turkey hunters were seen in the area where the fire started.〔( Daniels, Bruce (30 May 2008) "Feds Believe Hunters Started Trigo Fire" ''Albuquerque Journal Online '' )〕
The very low relative humidity, high winds, and low fuel moisture coupled with the steep topography made containing the fire very difficult. For several days after the start of the fire the high winds prevented the use of aircraft in fighting the fire.
