As seen in video obtained by KOB-TV, one or more people lighting fireworks appear to have ignited a fire that caused severe damage to 58 vehicles at an apartment complex in southeast Albuquerque last week.
On Thursday, KOB acquired surveillance video from the incident at the Villa Apartments on Cardenas Drive southeast near Gibson and San Pedro. It shows someone behind a vehicle underneath a carport lighting fireworks, resulting in a fire that steadily grew and spread to the roof of the carport.
The roof eventually became fully engulfed, the video shows.
