New Mexico battling huge wildfire

Help

Hundreds of firefighters in New Mexico are battling to control the state's biggest ever wildfire.

The fire has already destroyed a dozen homes and covers an area bigger than Dallas, Texas.

The operation to control the flames has raised concerns of a shortage of firefighting planes, and the age of the fleet.
