LOS ALAMOS, N.M. ? Firefighters struggled early Tuesday to hold back a fierce blaze roaring out of control at the edge of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a sprawling nuclear weapons complex that includes a plutonium facility.
Flames licked all day at the boundary of the laboratory site, home to the nation's largest supply of nuclear weapons, as fire crews scurried to douse spot fires carried onto the grounds by winds from the leading edge of the blaze.
The laboratory was shut down, and the adjacent town of Los Alamos, home to about 12,000 people, was placed under a mandatory evacuation earlier.
High winds on Monday forced the grounding of water-dropping helicopters and airplane tankers, limiting fire defenses largely to the use of bulldozers and hand tools. The facility cut natural gas to some areas as a precaution.
