PHOENIX - Phoenix Fire crews battled at least two commercial fires on Saturday, the department said.

The first fire was at IHOP around 3 p.m. near Central Avenue and Thomas Road. The second fire was at O'Reilly Auto Parts near McDowell Road and 32nd Street around 7 p.m.

At IHOP, crews arrived to heavy smoke coming from inside of the restaurant. Everyone was evacuated and no injuries were reported.

The first-alarm fire at O'Reilly Auto Parts showed heavy flames coming from an RV engulfed in flames parked outside of the business.

"The owner of the RV was transported to the hospital for minor burn injuries to their hands. Currently investigators are on the scene to determine a cause," said Phoenix Fire Capt. Todd Keller.

Customers and employees were evacuated safely from the business.
