Closed Door Helps Family Escape Albuquerque Garage Fire Safely

Albuquerque Fire Rescue quickly extinguished a garage fire at a northeast Albuquerque home early Saturday morning, allowing a family to escape unharmed. Fire officials said the blaze was largely contained to the garage thanks to the homeowner keeping the interior doors to the garage closed—a simple but critical decision that slowed the spread of smoke and flames. AFR emphasized that even basic interior doors can make a life-saving difference during a fire.
