SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Three people were killed when monsoon rains triggered flash flooding in a New Mexico village, sending walls of water, mud and debris rushing down mountainsides that have been repeatedly scarred over recent years by wildfires and post-fire flooding.

A New Mexico mountain town hit by devastating wildfires last year saw dangerous flooding Tuesday after heavy rain fell on areas burned in the blazes, officials said. A spokesperson for the village of Ruidoso told NBC News that there had been rescues and some were still underway. No injuries or death had been reported as of Tuesday afternoon.

At least three people, including two children, have died due to flash flooding in Ruidoso, New Mexico on Tuesday, July 8.
