    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Driving west on I-40 towards Albuquerque, Dratz says she saw smoke on the horizon. "After a quick call to 911, I went to see if I could help. A couple in a truck stopped in the median and pulled out a shovel to beat back the flames," she says. "After about 30 minutes or so, we had the flames out and were chasing down smoldering spots, when a couple of young men in a truck pulled up from the field with heavy blankets to help us smother the hot spots. Firefighters finally arrived to check and confirm that the fire was out."
    - Anika3, CNN iReport producer
