Chopper 4 video shows devastation of New Mexico wildfires

It's going to be a long road to recovery for the people who live in and around Ruidoso.

RUIDOSO, N.M. – It’s going to be a long road to recovery for the people who live in and around Ruidoso. The South Fork and Salt fires are both around 90% containment at last update. 

While the fires themselves are not posing an active threat right now, the devastation they left behind is hurting a lot of New Mexicans right now. 

On Tuesday, that area is particularly susceptible to flooding. 

Video captured by Chopper 4 Tuesday morning illustrates just how much the fires changed the community.
