Good morning, Beerzcool.

The incident commander's report to the Santa Fe National Forest office this morning (172.300) indicated the Chacoma Fire remained contained overnight, as did a nearby, related spot fire.

However, I'm guessing they're concerned about the wind forecast today. Weather Channel is predicting wind gusts up to 40 mph.

I watched them dump about 6 loads from Barranca Mesa last evening. Who know what havoc the winds had on the fire today. Have not heard much chatter, but I suppose all air traffic is grounded.
