A FIRE AT ZIA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN ALBUQUERQUE SUNDAY. CREWS ARRIVING ON SCENE IN THE 400 BLOCK OF JEFFERSON NORTHEAST FOUND HEAVY FLAMES COMING FROM THE ROOF ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE CAFETERIA.
FIREFIGHTERS WORKED QUICKLY IN HIGH WINDS, AND THE FIRE DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO A 10-BY-40 FOOT AREA OF THE ROOF. FIRE CAPTAIN JASON GARCIA SAYS THE WINDS WERE SO HIGH THAT THEY COULD HAVE LOST THE BUILDING.
THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. STUDENTS ARE OFF THIS WEEK FOR SPRING BREAK.
