IF YOU’RE TRAVELING THROUGH THE AREA, ANYWHERE FROM SECOND STREET DOWN TO FOURTH STREET OR EVEN THROUGH ARVADA, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU AVOID THESE AREAS BECAUSE TRAFFIC IS BEING DIVERTED IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. I KNOW PEOPLE DOWN FOURTH STREET WERE BEING SENT TO CUTLER AVENUE, AND THEN YOU EVEN HAVE PEOPLE ON I-40 THAT ARE BEING TOLD TO GO FURTHER DOWN THE INTERSTATE BEFORE GETTING OFF. SO THIS IS A MAJOR TRAFFIC HAZARD WHEN IT COMES TO THIS. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ONCE AGAIN YOU AVOID THE AREA. NOW, AS FAR AS THE FIRE, HERE’S WHAT WE DO KNOW. ACCORDING TO ALBUQUERQUE FIREFIGHTERS, THAT WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE FIRE STARTED ON THE INSIDE AND THEN THAT FIRE EVENTUALLY GOT SO BAD THAT PEOPLE HAD TO COME OUT.

THE GOOD NEWS IS FROM ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO I HEARD THE SECOND FROM SECOND HAND, ONE OF THE PEOPLE, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PERSON DID NOT HAVE ANY BURNS. THEY JUST THINK THAT THEY INHALED TOO MUCH SMOKE. SO ONCE AGAIN, TWO PEOPLE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL TRY TO AVOID THIS AREA AT ALL COSTS JUST BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC JAMS AND JUST POLICE TRYING TO GET THIS UNDER CONTROL. AND RIGHT NOW THEY’RE STILL TRYING TO GET THIS FIRE UNDER CONTROL, IS A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT IT WAS WHEN WE FIRST GOT HERE, BUT IT’S JUST A MATTER OF GE
