At least 20 displaced after second-alarm apartment fire in central Phoenix
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — At least 20 people are expected to be displaced Friday night after a large second-alarm fire sent heavy smoke into the sky in central Phoenix.
Around 6:45 p.m., Phoenix firefighters responded to ‘The Canvas’ apartment complex near West Ocotillo Road and North 27th Avenue.
Phoenix Fire Capt. DJ Lee said the fire initially started as a tree fire and spread to the complex.
Because of the size of the complex and how quickly the fire was growing, crews initially took a defensive strategy before eventually containing the fire.
No injuries were reported, and everyone was able to get out, Lee said.
