ighters from all over the country battled the blaze, but over 400 homes were lost. FEMA built temporary housing for those that were displaced by the fire on North Mesa near the Middle School. It was nicknamed FEMA-ville. After the fires, there was widespread flooding due to the removal of the ground cover by the fire.

On Monday, June 27, 2011, the Las Conchas Fire broke out in the mountains southwest of the town, prompting a mandatory evacuation from the town and temporary closure of LANL until Sunday. Although Las Conchas was actually larger than that of the Cerro Grande Fire, no buildings or structures in Los Alamos County were damaged
