A rapidly spreading wildfire in Quay County, New Mexico, has scorched over 10,000 acres, resulting in the evacuation of the small town of Nara Visa. The New Mexico Fire Information reports that the fire was detected on Thursday evening and swiftly endangered homes and surrounding buildings before achieving 90% containment.
