Over 1,200 firefighters, including fourteen hotshot crews, are involved against the blaze.
It has burned over 241,000 acres, and is the largest in New Mexico history.
Advances have been made against the fire due to changes in the terrain in which the fire is now burning.
Before it had been in narrow canyons that were only accessible by helicopter, now there are areas where trucks and crews have easier access.
Due to that firefighters hope to have the containment a lot further by the end of Monday.
Already some evacuations have been lifted, with more being considered.
