SANTA FE, N.M. — Lawsuits stemming from a 2011 wildfire that destroyed dozens of homes as it raced across more than 230 square miles of northern New Mexico’s Jemez Mountains could end up costing a local electric cooperative millions of dollars.

General Manager Ernest Gonzales told The Santa Fe New Mexican in story published Sunday that it’s too soon to know how much Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative will have to pay and how the costs will affect its members.
