Firefighters in New Mexico fail to pin back the flames of the US's largest wildfire, which is burning perilously close to a string of mountain villages
Winds were expected to blow from the south on Saturday, pushing the blaze towards villages such as Mora, as well as the city of Las Vegas.

"It's coming, and it's here," said Mora County sheriff's official Americk Padilla, urging residents to evacuate to the towns of Taos and Angel Fire if requested.Most destructive
