Three days after flames devoured an Albuquerque apartment complex crews were called out again to deal with more flare-ups. Fire inspectors also say they know why the blaze spread so fast.

There were at least two flare-ups on Monday at the Royal Crown Apartments on Gibson Boulevard SE near San Mateo.

Friday’s massive fire displaced tenants of 43 apartments. Residents wanted to know how could a fire that a witness said started in a laundry room end up consuming the entire apartment complex in just a few hours.
