Glad they got it under control! We don't want another San Ignacio incident...

WOW, could have been worse then a flood. Hope everyone is well.

Mulege palm fire

The aftermath of fire today in Mulege looking from the mission. No structures and lives lost though.

WOW, good job on getting it out.

I have seen several palm groves stripped of their fronds by fires or hurricanes. It is amazing to come back the next year and see how many spout new tops and carry on.

What a shame....it's a lovely grove.

Bummer about the grove. But the pic is epic!!!

On another blog the fire shown at the attached link was reported as being in Mulege on 6 May. Surprised there is no mention of it on this blog so I'm wondering if it is fake news.

Plenty of photos from different people during and after the fire show validity to the story. See the Baja News forum here on Nomad.

Wasn't all that bad. The fire was contained by firemen in about 5 hours. There was still a firetruck in the palm grove yesterday evening, standing by to put out any remaining hotspots. A small percentage of the grove west of the bridge and a bit north of the town entrance burned. Firefighters from Mulege and surrounding towns responded and apparently did a good job.

This is a good example of "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words".

Any word on the source/cause yet?

Good to know!
