Early this morning, Albuquerque Fire Rescue rushed to a house fire near Uptown, saving two dogs from the flames and containing the blaze to just the roof and one room in under nine minutes. No one was hurt, and investigators are checking the cause. Its stories like this that remind us how our first responders keep us safe every day.

On the crime front, were staying factual here: a local pediatric nurse named Blade Rogers, who worked at Presbyterian, faces serious charges for possessing and sharing child pornography. A judge ordered him held in custody until his pretrial hearing. KOB 4 Eyewitness News is following this closely, and we urge everyone to stay vigilant for our childrens safety.

Meanwhile, new clean fuels legislation has Chairwoman Amy Barela warning it could hike gas prices amid global tensions, hitting our daily commutes hard.
