ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Investigators are working to find out how a downtown laundromat burned to the ground.
A photo from Albuquerque Fire Rescue shows a large black cloud of smoke over the structure. The fire happened at the Wash Tub Laundromat on 11th and Central around 5 a.m. Sunday.
Officials say 18 AFR units were there with three ladder fire trucks, getting water to the building.
Central was shut down during this time to stop the fire.
Crews got it under control hours later, but they say the structure is likely a total loss.
Officials have not determined the cause at this time.
