Gallup Firefighter/EMT Michael Hoffman is silhouetted by the lights from a fire engine while smoke billows out of the McKinley County Transfer Station off Hassler Valley Road on Thursday night. A general fire alarm drew Gallup Fire, McKinley West, and Whitecliffs Fire Departments to the transfer station. It is currently unknown what started the fire but it was possibly someone who threw out smoldering ashes in the garbage, lighting the large trash fire at the Transfer Station.
