Investigators note Santa Fe Suites fire began in utility closet; cause still undetermined
Santa Fe fire investigators still have not made a determination regarding the cause of a recent fire at a low-income apartment complex, but a report released this week includes some details firefighters noted from their response to the May blaze. The incident report notes the fire — which began in a utility closet on the first floor of a building at Santa Fe Suites — involved some "equipment," but fire investigators wrote the cause was "undetermined." The report states the building's alarms and sprinklers operated correctly in response to the fire. Santa Fe Fire Department Assistant Chief Sten Johnson said he wasn't sure whether the report meant to indicate the equipment appeared to be the cause of the fire or was just damaged, but he said the cause and origin of the fire will be determined in another report by a separate investigator. About three weeks have passed since the fire displaced all residents from one of the complex's eight buildings, and all of the tenants of building No. 5 remained at a Santa Fe hotel as of Friday. Two of the residents were taken to an area hospital for treatment of possible smoke inhalation following the fire; both were released in the days after the incident. Firefighters were sent to the fire just before 6 a.m. May 23; flames and smoke could be seen coming from an exterior stairwell on the building's first floor, fire officials said. Two residents who live in second-story units were each rescued by firefighters with ladders. The report states there were no "human factors" involved in the ignition of the fire, but Johnson said he didn't believe it necessarily ruled out the possibility of the fire being caused by a person. "The person who completed this report was the incident commander at the scene who ran the incident, who organized the attack and all the activities that took place that morning," Johnson said. "Another fire investigator would later show up and do the investigation — now that report is due 30 days after the incident, so I think we still have another week or more before that is available." The report states the building's detectors and mechanical sprinklers operated properly in response to the fire, alarming residents and releasing water. Firefighters noted the fire did not spread to any other buildings or structures. Residents from the building's 12 apartments had been displaced from their units for about three weeks as of Friday. The complex is located at 3007 S. St. Francis Drive near the Plaza Entrada shopping center at the corner of St. Francis and West Zia Road. A few of the tenants have criticized the property management company that runs Santa Fe Suites — Arizona-based Apartment Management Consultants — saying the company has done little to help them in the weeks since the fire displaced them from their homes. They have also expressed safety concerns about the property, which was converted into apartments for low-income and homeless people in recent years after serving as a hotel for decades. Some of the tenants said St. Elizabeth Shelter Corporation has helped them with hotel rooms and some meals in the meantime. The residents shared a letter they received from Matt Hijar, a manager at the property management company, earlier this month that noted the fire "originated in the electrical and was intensified due to the door being left open, allowing airflow by unauthorized access by a non-resident." The letter stated work was underway to restore the building to a livable state, but Hijar noted the company could not offer a timeline for residents' return to the building. He wrote the tenants' June rent balances "are being reviewed and we will communicate adjustments privately at a later date." Hijar did not return a call seeking comment Friday.

Park Area Closed to Recover Body of Teen Who Fell Over 50-Foot Waterfall
Officials closed part of Olympic National Park in Washington State this week to recover the body of a teenager who slipped and fell over a 50-waterfall last weekend, the National Park Service said. The 18-year-old slipped on wet rocks at the top of Sol Duc Falls on Sunday afternoon, and plummeted to the bottom of the falls, witnesses told park officials. The man, whose name the authorities did not release, briefly resurfaced before disappearing beneath the water, park officials said. The park's swift water and rope rescue teams began their search immediately after the man disappeared, officials said, while another crew searched the riverbanks upstream from the trailhead. Thermal imaging was used to search the water, while drone teams from local police departments looked from above. Late on Monday, a park ranger found a submerged body pinned between the first and second falls, officials said, adding that it was 'likely that this is the visitor who fell over the falls the day before.' The park announced on Tuesday that it was closing the area around the falls as the teams prepared to recover the body. The point where the body was seen is in a slender canyon beneath the main falls, where the water gains speed. The force of the water was further strengthened, officials said, by higher temperatures, which cause rapid snowmelt and significantly high river flows. Park officials said Tuesday that they would 'begin the operation as soon as the river conditions allow for a safe and successful recovery.' They said that they were thwarted by the 50-foot cliffs, covered in algae and moss, on both sides of the area. Farther downstream, they said, there is a second waterfall, a whirlpool, and other hazards. Park officials did not offer any public updates after Tuesday, and did not respond to emails and phone messages on Friday. Olympic National Park, which preserves more than 920,000 acres on a thumb of land known as the Olympic Peninsula, is one of the largest, most remote, and least-developed protected areas in the United States.
