As firefighters battle wildfires across the state in a historic fire season, the cost to battle the blazes in New Mexico is starting to mount. 

According to a KOB 4 report, the costs are mounting for the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak wildfire ($76 million) and the Cerro Pelado Fire ($31 million). Nora Meyers Sackett, press secretary for Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, told the station that the figures cover the spectrum of the firefighting effort so far. 

“So that’s personnel, that’s additional firefighting resources the governor has ordered to keep as many New Mexico communities as safe as possible,” Sackett said in a news release. “That’s the staff on the ground, that’s the air support.” 

According to KOB 4, the wildfires have cost the state and federal government in excess of $100 million, much for personnel. The report noted that more expenses are likely. 

Sackett told the outlet that the state is hoping the federal government will ante up for the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak wildfire as a result of the role it played in starting the blaze. 

Grisham, according to KOB 4, will ask the federal government to pay all of the costs tied to the fires, including the cleanup and any reimbursements for property destroyed by the fire.
