Four firefighters fell from the second story to the first story of an Albuquerque (NM) apartment building while conducting firefighting operations on Friday. Two firefighters were treated at an area hospital; one was released, the other was still under observation late Friday night, according to a news report.
More than 75 firefighters responded to the call at the 47-unit Royal Crown apartment complex around 3 p.m. on Friday. All residents were able to evacuate safely.
