Thousands evacuated as dual fires surround New Mexico town

A pair of rapidly growing wildfires are converging on a village inside a tribal reservation in New Mexico, prompting thousands to evacuate.
 
The South Fork Fire, ignited on Monday nearly tripled in size overnight, scorching almost 14,000 acres of land by this morning.
 
Another blaze, the Salt Fire, is burning south of the village of Ruidoso and burned nearly 5,000 acres.
 
Authorities say both fires are zero per cent contained.
