Brush fire scene

Gallup fire fighter James Gleason douses the smoldering coals that ignited a small brush fire Monday near the corner of Vandenbosch Parkways and Red Rock Drive in Gallup. Fire fighters on the scene believe that the blaze was caused by somebody dumping ashes into the vacant lot, which where then stirred up by the winds, allowing the fire to flare up.
