TWO BERALILLO COUNTY, NEW MEXICO, FIREFIGHTERS were injured yesterday in a failed rescue attempt at a house fire.
The duplex home just south of Albuquerque started burning early Sunday morning. Rita Marquez was trapped inside and started screaming, waking her neighbors. He son tried to break into the house to get to her, but was unable to because of the intense fire that had taken over the house.
When the FD arrived they initiated a rescue attempt, but were unable to save the woman. Two BCFD firefighters were slightly burned in an unsuccessful attempt to get to her.
