LAS CRUCES, N.M. (KVIA) -- Las Cruces firefighters put out a fire that burned an abandoned building on Mesquite Street Sunday. LCFD said the fire burned through the building's roof and attic.

The building, located on the 700 block of N Mesquite Street, has had five fires since 2024, LCFD said. Sunday's fire damaged the roof and outside wall significantly.

The fire department said Sunday's high winds created "volatile" fire conditions.
