Santa Teresa, NM (KKOB) – Local, state and federal investigators are going through the ruble of what was once the Santa Teresa Country Club in Santa Teresa, NM. following an explosion and fire that happened around 5 a.m. Wednesday. The Sunland Park Fire Department and Doña Ana County Fire Rescue responded to the large fire.
The building has been permanently closed for several years.
Fire crews spent about 45 minutes containing the fire, and even more time at the scene putting out hot spots. Officials say no one was injured. An explosion was reported earlier Tuesday night so the bomb squad was called out as well as the FBI.
