Authorities in Valencia County have released the name of a woman killed in a fire around 8:30 Christmas night in Los Chavez, just south of Los Lunas. She is 53-year-old Kathy Zamora. Neighbors are still reliving the haunting image of the Los Chavez woman's home exploding in flames. Carl Bland, who lives across the street, knew almost immediately there was nothing he could do, but Bland and another neighbor ran over to the house to see if they could get the woman out of her burning home. Then his neighbor noticed a new danger. "He hollered at me, and he said 'We need to get out of here, those are propane tanks on the side of the house,’" Bland said. The danger of exploding propane and oxygen tanks forced neighbors wait until the fire department arrived. Fire officials believe the fire started in the back bedroom of the home and quickly spread to the rest of the house, with Zamora likely dying from smoke intoxication. Deputies say Zamora was the only person inside when the fire broke out. An official cause is being investigated. [www.clipsyndicate.com | KOB Albuquerque]
Fire officials are citing a cardboard box filled with fireplace ashes remaining inside the house as the cause of a fire in a Nob Hill home on Saturday. The U.S. Fire Administration says faulty home heating methods are the top causes of home fire deaths, with an increase of house fires occurring during the winter months. The couple living in the home were gone, but nine puppies and three dogs were trapped inside. One woman noticed the smoke and aided the couple and a firefighter who worked to rescue all the animals. Fire crews put out the fire before anyone was hurt. The U.S. Fire Administration recommends soaking fireplace ashes in water and placing them in a metal container outside your home.
