PHOENIX – A home known in metro Phoenix as the “Wedding Cake” was severely damaged by fire early Tuesday.
Rural Metro Fire said in a social media post that containing the blaze of the three-story house on Stage Coach Pass in Carefree near the Carefree Highway took crews from two cities.
The 6,000 square-foot house was empty – it was under renovation.
Crews from Cave Creek and Carefree made their way across steep terrain in darkness to reach the house.
