Mack said the initial indication was a grass fire burning on Show Low Trail. Once crews arrived there was a large pile of tires in flames.

He said crews had a hard time extinguishing the tire blaze, which spread on the property and damaged the cars and a camp trailer. 

Mack said the Carlsbad Fire Department assisted with some specialized engines. 

The fire was extinguished and firefighters were looking for hot spots and left the scene Wednesday around 2:40 p.m., Mack said.

He said the fire’s cause was still under investigation, and did not speculate as to whether the ignition was natural or arson.
