In May 2000 , a prescribed burn on Cerro Grande got out of control and became the Cerro Grande Fire , a forest fire that burned 48,000 acres ( 190 km ² ) and destroyed hundreds of homes . Much of the forest on Cerro Grande itself was not damaged badly or at all . However , the whole mountain burned severely in the Las Conchas Fire of 2011
