Fire relights at Royal Crown apts.

February 08, 2011

irefighters returned to the scene of a massive apartment fire in albuquerque after parts of the building began smoldering today. our cameras were there as a neighbor who saw the smoke called 9-1-1. it was coming from the back end of what's left of the royal crown apartment on gibson near san mateo... we first showed you the flames when the fire broke on friday afternoon... all people inside were able to get out safely, but the building is a total loss. today we talked to a woman who lives next to the apartments, and saw the fire when it started friday. "it was literally a black cloud over us, i mean we tried to keep the door shut but smoke was coming in. you could see across the park, well barely, because it was so smoky." the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
