The Sedgwick Fire has burned about 3,383 acres in the Cibola National Forest about 14 miles west of Grants.
``The fire is progressing well as long as the weather stays as planned. The burnouts have been successful to date,'' fire information officer Terry Wildermuth said Monday night.
Winds have been pushing smoke from the fire to Grants and toward Albuquerque.
The blaze, which flared from a campfire, was burning pinon, juniper, ponderosa pine and mixed conifer trees in rugged terrain.
``They're still working in steep, rocky terrain and the other problem is extremely dry fuels,'' Wildermuth said.
A total of 422 people are assigned to the fire. Six helicopters, 10 engines and seven dozers are also on the fire.
Wildermuth said additional resources had been ordered, but she was not sure how many people and what equipment that would involve.
No structures are threatened by the fire, which was 20 percent contained.
The fire, near Mount Sedgwick, leaped from treetop to treetop Saturday, but was a bit less active Sunday, Wildermuth said.
Meanwhile, firefighters continued battling the 60,400-acre Peppin Fire in the Capitan Mountains in the Lincoln National Forest.
The fire was burning interior islands of vegetation as temperatures rise and humidity falls, fire information officer Margo Whitt said.
The fire, which was 85 percent contained, was sparked by lightning six miles northeast of Capitan in south-central New Mexico.
The blaze has burned 12 cabins and mixed conifer, ponderosa pine, pinon and juniper trees in rugged terrain.
There were 200 people assigned to the fire, along with two helicopters, five engines, one bulldozer and two water tenders.
The Peppin Fire has cost almost $6.4 million, officials said.
