Family escapes as home in New Mexico gutted by fire
Kap D. Kelley and his wife and four children fled a brick house near Brown and West Pine Lodge Roads when flames trapped inside the attic. Firefighters from Berrendo and Sierra volunteer departments arrived after 5 pm but the house was a total loss with origin in the attic likely from a gas furnace. A barn nearby was undamaged and a family pet was reported missing, though Kelley credited his family’s escape as the main outcome.
