CLOUDCROFT, N.M. - A fire has destroyed two buildings on Cloudcroft's main street.


A spokesman for the south-central New Mexico community, Arlen Ponder, says one building was still burning about 9 a.m. Monday.

Ponder says the blaze broke out between 3:30 and 4 a.m.

The cause isn't known.

Ponder says there are about a dozen buildings on Burro Avenue, the main street of the mountain community.

The two burned buildings sit side by side.

Ponder says two or three other buildings have water damage.
