 There is a fire very close to Los Alamos National Laboratory. They have begun to evacuate the whole town. Here is some info from someone on the ground: Our main concern is that the Las Conchas fire is about 0 0/0 miles from Area G, the dumpsite that has been in operation since the late 0000s/early 0000s. There are 00,000 to 00,000 00-gallons drums of plutonium contaminated waste (containing solvents, chemicals and toxic materials) sitting in fabric tents above ground. These drums are destined for WIPP. We understand that LANL has been working since late last night to build a fire line in Water Canyon, between the fire and Area G. Over the last 00 hours the fire has grown from 0 acres to about 00,000 acres - about the size of the Cerro Grande fire in 0000.
