1. A wildfire threatened Los Alamos back in the 1990s, IIRC
Someone was doing a "controlled burn" on NFS or BLM land. The wind blew the fire out of control.

2. It was in 2000
The Cerro Grande fire. It started out as a planned burn at Bandelier National Monument and ended up taking out over 300 homes.
