TWO FIREFIGHTERS ARE SENT TO THE HOSPITAL WITH INJURIES FROM FIGHTING A WEST SIDE ALBUQUERQUE STRIP MALL FIRE MONDAY MORNING. NINETEEN CITY FIREFIGHTER UNITS WERE SENT TO COORS AND SEQUOIA AROUND 4AM AND FOUND HEAVY BLACK SMOKE AND FLAMES COMING FROM SEVERAL STORES WHEN THEY ARRIVED.
THE ROOF OF ONE OF THE BUSINESSES FELL THROUGH, AND THE FIRE WAS CONTAINED TO FOUR STORES. BUT THE FULL EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE HASN’T BEEN CALCULATED YET. THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE CONTINUES.
ONE FIREFIGHTER HAD A SHOULDER INJURY … THE OTHER HAD A POSSIBLE CHEST INJURY. THEY WERE RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL AND ARE OKAY.
