Residents of rural communities in La Ifigenia and Santa Rita in La Marta mountain, which naturally divides the Mexican states of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon, remain in their houses as large forest fire approaches their community, on 27 April 2011. More than 1,500 brigade members are still trying to extinguish the fire which began a month ago in the mountains of Chihuahua, Mexico.
