Mobile home fire in Agua Fría sends woman to hospital

Mar. 17—The Santa Fe Fire Department responded to a mobile home fire on Avenida Rosa in Agua Fría early Friday morning that sent a woman to the hospital with smoke inhalation.

"They are investigating to determine if it was arson, or ... I think it's open-ended, is what it sounded like," said David Lienemann, a spokesman for the state Fire Marshal's Office, which is investigating the blaze.

He added his office's personnel are looking into it, and it could take about a month for investigators to determine cause of the fire.

Santa Fe fire Chief Brian Moya said his personnel were alerted to the fire a little before 5 a.m., and had fully extinguished it by about 7:30 a.m.

"We did a defensive fire, so we did not go inside until after the fire was out," Moya said.

The chief said the investigation was handed over to the state Fire Marshal's Office since the mobile home park is outside of city limits.

Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office spokesman Juan Ríos said deputies were dispatched to the burning trailer at about 5:30 a.m. to assist with the initial response. He said firefighters located a woman who was suffering from smoke inhalation. She was taken to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center for treatment, he said.

Moya said firefighters found the woman inside the burning trailer but could not confirm whether she is a resident of the trailer park.

Ríos said no one else was injured during the early morning fire, and his office did not arrest anyone Friday in connection with the incident.
