An out of control wild fire in New Mexico is now within one mile of a United States nuclear weapons facility, as officials at Los Alamos National Laboratory prepared to make sure that radioactive and hazardous material were protected from the wind driven fire.
Los Alamos National Laboratory was founded during the Second World War to develop the world's first nuclear weapons. Sunday night New Mexico Governor Susanna Martinez toured the lab’s emergency operations center and ordered the New Mexico National Guard to provide support for Los Alamos.
