ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Albuquerque Fire Rescue responded to an intense house fire Monday evening near Tramway and Candelaria.

AFR said crews were called out just after 7 p.m. Monday. When they arrived, they found the fire was coming from the attic. 

“Crews stayed inside as long as they could until we had fire through the roof, and the potential for a collapse. At which point, Battalion 2 pulled crews out and went defensive,” said Lt. Jason Fejer, AFR’s public information officer. 

Fejer added the fire led to a near-total collapse of the home. No one was hurt. 

Crews stayed out there for a while, focusing on protecting surrounding homes. 

Fire investigators determined the fire was accidental and because of repairs being done to the home.
