Las Cruces Firefighters Battle Wind-Driven House Fire

0:00Las Cruces firefighters stepped up big time to help Donia on a county battle a house fire last Sunday, April 26th. The blaze hit the 9,400 block of Hondo Road, turning into a tough fight right from the jump. Crews rode out just before 230 pm, facing brutal wind-driven flames that were spreading fast across the property. Local teams sent two engines to boost the water supply and not back the fire, working side by side with county folks under those harsh conditions. High winds fueled the spread, pushing heat into the attic, and even the crawl space below the structure, making containment a real grind. In the end, the joint effort kept things from jumping worse, but it highlights how weather can turn a standard call into a beast. Stay safe out there y'all.
