PHOENIX — Dozens of people are displaced after a third-alarm fire at an apartment complex in north Phoenix Thursday night.
Phoenix Fire Department officials say about 40 trucks responded after reports of heavy smoke coming from a single-story complex near Cave Creek and Hatcher roads.
The fire worked its way through one building before spreading to another, Phoenix Fire says. The building that the fire started in is a complete loss. Phoenix fire officials have not yet assessed the second building.
One man was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, but no other injuries have been reported.
Approximately 80 residents are displaced as a result of the fire.
It is currently unknown what caused the blaze.
The American Red Cross Arizona set up a shelter after the fire for people to have a place to stay. It will be closed tonight but will be back open tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Anyone wishing to help is encouraged to make a financial donation to the local Red Cross online or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS
