Second Valencia Co. Fire in a Week Under Control

THE FIRE ON ISLETA PUEBLO PUT OUT SMOKE THAT YOU COULD SEE FROM DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE. THE FIRE’S BEEN BURNING ON BOTH SIDES OF HIGHWAY 314 JUST OUTSIDE OF BOSQUE FARMS. THE FIRE’S BURNING IN THE WETLANDS AND KOB TV REPORTS IT’S BEEN BURNING THROUGH DRY CATTAILS.

HIGHWAY 314 HAS BEEN CLOSED NEAR THE PALACE WEST CASINO. BUT CREWS DO HAVE THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL AND ARE IN THE MOP-UP STAGE. IT’S STILL NOT KNOWN HOW THIS FIRE STARTED.
