Second Fire In 40 Days Hits Albuquerque Route 66 Motel

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A second fire in two months has struck an Albuquerque Route 66 motel and apartment complex made famous in the 2007 movie "No Country for Old Men." KOAT-TV in Albuquerque reports firefighters were called Sunday to the blaze in a unit at the Desert Sands Motel. Investigators believe the fire may have been started by a homeless person who managed to get into the boarded up property for shelter. A May 24th fire destroyed most of the complex's 63 units and forced residents out of their homes. A 37-year-old woman faces an arson charge in connection with that massive blaze. No arrests were reported from the latest fire. The hotel was the scene of a final shootout in the movie "No Country for Old Men" starring Oscar-winner Javier Bardem.
