Los Alamos Fire Department Station 6 crews responded early Saturday afternoon to a truck fire on NM 502 by the Los Alamos Airport fence. The fire, which broke out under the truck was thought to have been cause by a ruptured fuel line. Family members of the driver at the scene noted that they were on their way to get fire wood and that they were relieved the fire didn’t occur while they were out in the forest.

The fire was apparently under the vehicle in two locations so at first glance, there seems to be no evidence of fire. Photo by Maire O’Neill/losalamosreporter.com
