05.25.2022 | 1:30 AM | PHOENIX – Phoenix Fire crews responded to reports of an apartment fire near 15th Avenue and Broadway Road around 1:30 AM Wednesday morning. Upon arrival crews found heavy smoke and flames showing through the roof of a single story apartment building. Firefighters quickly balanced the assignment to a working fire and worked to secure a water supply. Crews deployed multiple handlines and made their way into the apartment unit for search, rescue and fire attack. Heavy fire quickly began spreading through a shared attic space into neighboring apartment units. Crews made the decision to pull back and fight the fire from a defensive posture as the flames intensified. According to one of the residents, the apartment where the fire originated is known for its hoarder like conditions. Cluttered conditions and an exposed arcing breaker panel were among a few hazards crews faced while fighting the stubborn blaze. Crews were able to bring the fire under control around 2:20 AM. No injuries have been reported, a total of 15 people have been displaced as a result of the fire. Fire investigators are currently working to determine what caused the blaze. Crisis response teams are working to provide the displaced with proper resources. For licensing, contact info@onscene.tv Follow our other platforms!
