ANTHEM, Ariz. - A brush fire sparked along I-17 in Anthem on Sunday afternoon.

The fire, which grew to about 15 acres, billowed smoke on the west side of I-17 near Daisy Mountain Drive.

"This may cause visibility issues if the wind shifts," said officials with the Arizona Dept. of Transportation.

Daisy Mountain Fire says that crews, along with other agencies, were able to get the fire under control. No injuries have been reported.

Wind gusts in the Phoenix area are forecast to reach speeds of 30 to 40 miles per hour Sunday. The Valley has seen dry conditions and low humidity, meaning a small spark in the brush could start a fire.

The cause is unknown.
