Fire breaks out at Paradise Valley home
PHOENIX - A massive fire broke out at a two-story Paradise Valley home on Wednesday night.
What we know:
The April 9 fire started at a home on Mummy Mountain near Mockingbird Lane and Invergordon Road around 6:30 p.m.
SkyFOX flew over the scene at 7 p.m. and flames were taking over the home. Twenty minutes later, the flames were nearly extinguished.
The smoke could be seen for miles. Up close, it was a different story as neighbors said they could feel the heat from the flames.
What they're saying:
"Crews communicated to incoming units the need to lay multiple supply lines in order to prevent the fire from spreading to surrounding brush and homes. Multiple lines were deployed, including an elevated master stream from a ladder truck to gain fire control. At this time, crews are continuing to put out hotspots, but have declared the fire under control. There are no reported injuries on the fire. Ground and firefighters will be out here for quite a while completely extinguishing the home, ensuring all hotspots have been extinguished," Capt. Rob McDade of the Phoenix Fire Department said.
There's no word on what caused the fire yet, but fire officials say this was most likely accidental.
No injuries were reported, Phoenix Fire said.
