No one was hurt but AFR says they’ve been called to that same location before. “These structures pose a significant risk, not only to the community but to our firefighters as well when we respond to them. So it’s important that these abandoned buildings stay evacuated,” said Lt. Tom Ruiz, Albuquerque Fire Rescue. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
