The fire broke out at a home near 17th Street and Indian School Road around 5:30 p.m. on June 4."The fire appears to have started near an external garage and quickly spread into a nearby recreational vehicle, while also spreading into a home," said Phoenix Fire Capt. Rob McDade.A person who tried to stop the flames suffered minor burns and is at a local burn hospital for treatment. Phoenix Fire doesn't know if the person lived inside the home.
The heat created the perfect recipe for the fire to take off."It's a hot day, there's a little bit of wind coming from the south, and that fire went right into that adjacent home," Capt. McDade said.Working in one of the hottest and busiest cities, crews know what they signed up for."Already the start of a long, hot summer. Our firefighters are going to be pushed to the limit, but we believe they're up for the task," he said.
