Large fire near I-17 and Glendale Avenue leaves about 25 displaced from apartments

A fire broke out near a three-story apartment complex Friday night near Interstate 17 and Glendale Avenue and displaced about 25 residents.

All people impacted by the blaze got out of the building safely before Phoenix fire personnel arrived, as about 10 units were damaged.

The flames were reported as coming from a tree and extending over to the apartment, and crews arrived to the area around 6:45 p.m.

Crews were able to put out the fire with water hoses from their trucks, rather than having to engage it internally.

No fire personnel were injured in this process.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire.
