Fire races through Scottsdale home under construction

Apr 15, 2022, 6:45 AM

PHOENIX – Firefighters from four Valley cities worked together Thursday to put out a huge fire in a house under construction in Scottsdale.

The first-alarm blaze at Indian Bend and Pima roads brought crews from the Scottsdale Fire Department, Mesa Fire Department, Phoenix Fire Department and Tempe Fire Department to the afternoon scene.

No injuries were reported, the Scottsdale Fire Department said in an email.

When Scottsdale firefighters arrived around 1:40 p.m., they saw fire eating through part of the roof. Heavy smoke was visible for miles.

After a search of the house for anyone caught inside, crews began an aggressive effort to fight the fire but were driven outside by the flames.

Activity shut down the street between Pima and Hayden roads.

Crews stayed on the scene for hours, a Scottsdale Fire spokesman said.

Cause of the blaze is under investigation.
