ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE BELIEVED TO BE THE CAUSE OF A FIRE AT A NORTHEAST ABQ APARTMENT COMPLEX LATE SUNDAY THAT PUT 13 FAMILIES OUT OF THEIR HOMES. THE FIRE WAS REPORTED AROUND 10:30 PM AT THE SUN PLAZA APARTMENTS ON MONTGOMERY NEAR JEFFERSON.
WHEN CITY FIRE CREWS ARRIVED, THEY SMELLED SMOKE BUT COULD SEE NO FLAMES. THEY EVENTUALLY TRACED THE FIRE TO ONE UNIT WHERE THE FIRE HAD SPREAD TO THE COMMON ATTIC FOR FOUR APARTMENTS. THOSE FAMILIES … AND NINE OTHERS WHO WERE DISPLACED BECAUSE THE GAS AND ELECTRIC WERE SHUT OFF … ARE BEING ASSISTED BY THE RED CROSS.
NO ONE WAS INJURED.
