A LUCKY BREAK THURSDAY MORNING FOR A MAN SLEEPING IN A BOARDED-UP HOUSE IN NORTHEAST ALBUQUERQUE. FIRE CREWS WERE CALLED OUT TO THE HOUSE AT 201 GENERAL ARNOLD, NEAR WYOMING AND CENTRAL, IN RESPONSE TO SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE. MELISSA ROMERO WITH THE CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT SAYS WHEN THEY WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE, THEY FOUND A MAN SLEEPING IN A ROOM, COMPLETELY UNAWARE THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE NEXT ROOM.
ROMERO SAYS THE SAFE CITY STRIKE FORCE WAS CALLED OUT TO THE LOCATION TO SECURE THE HOUSE AND MAKE SURE NO ONE ELSE COULD GET INSIDE. NO CAUSE HAS BEEN DETERMINED, HOWEVER ROMERO SAYS THEY BELIEVE THE FIRE WAS ACCIDENTAL.
