A brush fire on Nov. 18 sent McKinley County Sheriff's officers and members of the New Mexico State Police to a group of homeless encampments, one of which was burned to the ground. However, no one was injured.

State police joined the sheriff's office and McKinley County and Gallup Fire Departments to put out the blaze using fire extinguishers and shovels.

It is not known who started the fire, but one woman in the camp was arrested on an outstanding bench warrant out of Gallup Municipal Court for shoplifting.

That arrest marked the fifth bench warrant arrest for MCSO on Nov. 18.
