GLENDALE, Ariz. - Glendale, Peoria, and Phoenix fire crews are battling a 90-acre brush fire at the top of Thunderbird Mountain in Thunderbird Conservation Park.

State forestry officials say the fire has a moderate rate of spread, and aircraft have been called to help put out the flames. The fire is 85% contained.

Officials say they will be pulling water from lakes east of 59th Avenue and south of the mountain to fight the fire.
