Over 50 firefighters battle house fire in north Phoenix; 2 people displaced

"[Firefighters] were presented with immediate extinguishment challenges including power lines down in the front of the home and propane tank to the rear," Capt. Scott Douglas said.

Over 50 firefighters worked overnight to put out a large fire that broke out at a home in north Phoenix.

Crews arrived at the scene near 43rd Avenue and Union Hills Drive and found a home fully engulfed in flames.

"[Firefighters] were presented with immediate extinguishment challenges including power lines down in the front of the home and propane tank to the rear," Capt. Scott Douglas said in a statement on July 14.

The fire was quickly upgraded to a first-alarm incident before the main body of the fire was extinguished.

Two residents were able to make it out of the home safely on their own.

A crisis team also responded to the scene to assist the displaced residents.

Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.
