LAS VEGAS, N.M. - New Mexico's governor on Tuesday asked President Joe Biden to declare a disaster as firefighters scrambled to clear brush, build fire lines and spray water to keep the largest blaze burning in the U.S.

Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a request for a presidential disaster declaration that will be sent to the White House in hopes of freeing up financial assistance for recovery efforts.

She said it was important that the declaration be made on the front end rather than waiting until the fire is out."I’m unwilling to wait," said Lujan Grisham, a first-term Democrat who is running for reelection.
