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.
