PHOENIX – Fire tore through two upper-floor Phoenix apartments late Monday and affected six neighboring units, but no one was injured, first responders said.

Crews had just finished putting out a fire at a nearby mobile home park when they were sent to the apartment complex around 9 p.m.

The fire spread to the attic space of two more second-story apartments; four downstairs units were damaged by smoke and water.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
