LAS CRUCES - Las Cruces firefighters assisted Doña Ana County firefighters Sunday afternoon with a wind-driven fire that destroyed a mobile home on Glass Road.
Doña Ana County fire crews were dispatched to a reported structure fire in the 2800 block of Glass Road around 3:45 p.m. April 27. Strong winds and multiple nearby hazards prompted a call for assistance from Las Cruces Fire Department personnel.
Responding units worked to protect a large propane tank, live power lines and at least one nearby home. Officials said winds pushed flames more than 300 yards from the point where the fire began.
Firefighters contained the fire within about 30 minutes, but Doña Ana County fire units remained on scene for several hours to extinguish hot spots.
No injuries were reported.
The Doña Ana County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
