PHOENIX (3TV / CBS 5) – Authorities are investigating the cause of a fire that broke out in a commercial store in Phoenix on Sunday afternoon. Phoenix Fire Department spokesman David J. Ramirez said their crews were called around 1:30 p.m. trading companies near the intersection of 12th and Brown Streets after several reports of power lines and an exploded transformer. The first engine company to arrive found active fire and smoke from a small building with several retractable garage doors, Ramirez says. They quickly started fighting the fire, using circular saws to gain access to the building. The crews worked aggressively to fight the fire and prevent it from spreading to neighboring units. Ramirez says no firefighters were injured. The cause of the fire is being investigated. Copyright 2021 KPHO / KTVK (KPHO Rundfunkgesellschaft). All rights reserved.
