The Albuquerque Fire Department has announced what sparked a huge fire at a business complex downtown last Wednesday. Investigators say the fire started with a rooftop air conditioner on the south end of the building and quickly spread by the high winds that night, causing about $10 million in damage.
As the fire continues to smolder six days later, firefighters remain at the complex making sure it doesn’t flare up again. The Albuquerque Fire Department calls it the biggest fire in recent memory.
“The tar caught on fire and was dripping tar balls, dripped from the roof into the occupancy,” said Albuquerque Fire Department Chief James Breen.
As numerous fires started inside the building, the greatest damage was inside TMM Business Records Storage. The business had high racks full of medical records which quickly caught fire. What didn’t burn is wet and weighing down the storage racks. Firefighters are worried the racks will collapse, so they still can’t go inside.
“It’s not safe to put firefighters on the inside. As a result of that, we can’t actually access some of the smoldering material that’s deep inside the structure,” Breen said. He says the Albuquerque Fire Department called in federal agents to find out where the fire began and what sparked it.

as fires burn all across the state — a new invention in santa fe may revolutionize the way they’re fought. it takes terrain — weather — and even traffic reports— and mixes them all together in a sandbox that acts almost like a hologram… you have to see it to believe it — and gadi schwartz provides a look you’ll see only on four. don’t let the star wars look fool you- this is just an ordinary sand box — but with the help of a projector and digital technology — it becomes an extremely accurate model of a national forest in just minutes. heres how it works the computer scans it to bring back the information that corresponds to satellite imagery – color-coded areas show where to move the sand to create mountains — peaks — and valleys. where its purple here you really need to stack it up its a peak where its blue we want to pull it way up too. once the topography is set we can actually start the simulated fire by using an ordinary lighter a camera recognizes the flame — then triggers a computer program which uses wind, weather, and vegetation data for an simulate how the flames will move. we tell the slurry bomber to start here and dump in this direction. the simulator doesn’t just help fire crews — it can help authorities coordinate and evacuation plan by accounting for traffic backups and road closures. this allows the police to also train on the fire noting that if there is a backup from a fire in this area to put an officer here at this intersection to prevent backup and keep people out of harms way. the sim table also let’s crews study past fires like never before. 2008’s trigo fire burned for weeks — and destroyed homes in the manzano mountains. the trigo fire started back on april 18th. here it is with the exact locations of where it broke across the mountain- where it was held back- and what caused it to spread so fast. it blew out all the way up and destroyed homes. the developers of the sim table — are now working on running the system on things like i-phones this small projector is able to project in the wilderness. “most excitingly its brining new technology into firefighting to saving lives, educating communities.”

This video may be disturbing for some viewers.
It was one of Kansas City’s deadliest fires. Six men were killed fighting a massive blaze at a gas station on August 18, 1959. Firefighters ran for their lives when a gas tank exploded sending a huge fireball across Southwest Boulevard. 500 men from both sides of the state line were dispatched to the fire near State Lane Road in Kansas City, Kan. 100 people, mostly firefighters, were injured.
The men who died battling the blaze were Capt. George Bartels, Capt. Peter Sirna, firefighter Virgil Sams, firefighter Neal Owen, firefighter Delbert Stone and civilian Francis Toomes. A monument paying tribute to their sacrifice was dedicated on Dec. 18, 1999.
KMBC-TV photographer Joe Adams shot this famous footage of the explosions and fire. Veteran Kansas City newsman Charles Gray narrated the report and is seen in front of the KMBC studios at the beginning of the film. Jeremy Hubbard’s report on the memorial ceremony in 1999 is also included here.
