Roundup: Wildfires feared worsening in U.S. New Mexico


HOUSTON, April 29 (Xinhua) -- Roughly 300 structures have been destroyed in U.S. southwestern mountain state of New Mexico as nearly two-week-long large wildfires are feared to be strengthened by high winds, dry air and warmer temperature in the coming days, authorities said on Friday.

The Calf Canyon and Hermits Peak fires in northwestern New Mexico had burned nearly 66,000 acres as of Friday morning and only 37 percent had been contained, the state's fire department updated on its website on Friday.
