The South Fork Fire and Salt Fire are still burning with two dead and dozens of others listed as missing.Dave Millsap shared a photo of him leaving his and his wife's Ruidoso home. It was one of the last images recorded on his Ring doorbell before the house burned to the ground.

“By the time I got down the mountain to meet up with Carol to evacuate, my Ring camera went offline,” said Millsap. Since then, Millsap hasn't been allowed back but received photos of his property from friends in the fire department.Both were less than 60% contained on Tuesday evening.Miller spoke with NBC 5 from Ruidoso where she traveled Monday to deliver donations collected at Deuce’s Bar in Dallas.

“It’s heartbreaking and hard to kind of swallow because it’s just black, you know, and burnt down to the ground,” said Miller.In other areas, door-to-door searches continue for nearly 30 people unaccounted for by my officials.“The whole place is a crime scene. My house is a crime scene,” said Millsap.He says about a dozen guitars and many memories were left behind when he was forced to evacuate.
