SANTA FE (KRQE) - Roofers working on a home in southwestern Santa Fe apparently caused a fire that burned much of the house Wednesday morning.
Santa Fe County fire officials said the roofers were using hot tar when the fire began around 10 a.m. at the 2,000-square-foot house on Coyote Ridge Court in southwestern Santa Fe.
Firefighters responded and nearly knocked the fire out when they ran out of water, but there were no fire hydrants in the area.
Flames soon picked up again, burning much of the house.
There's no word yet on whether anybody was injured or how much damage the fire caused.
