Three teenagers who authorities say were apparently playing with fireworks were charged with starting one of two wildfires that burned along the Rio Grande north of downtown Albuquerque and drove hundreds of people from their homes.

The suspects -- a 16-year-old and two 13-year-olds -- were booked on arson and related charges. One of the younger suspects also was charged with tampering with evidence.
