Car fire: Gallup Fire fighter Aaron Merrill hoses down the engine of a minivan Monday morning after a fire started in the engine compartment while the van was parked at the Uptown Plaza on Historic Rt. 66 in Gallup. The fire was first noticed by security officer Juan Damian Bravo, who called 911 on his cell phone and checked to make sure noone was inside of the van. [Photo by Jeff Jones/Independent]
