Air Force One carrying President Joe Biden flies above a wildfire, Saturday, June 11, 2022, in New Mexico.
The fire began with prescribed burns that were set by the US Forest Service, a standard practice that’s intended to clear out combustible underbrush. “We need to be sure this doesn’t happen again,” Biden said during a visit to an emergency operations center in Santa Fe, where he met with local, state and federal officials. He was returning to Washington from Los Angeles, where he had attended the Summit of the Americas.
