TEMPE, AZ — Fire crews battled an apartment fire near US 60 and Rural Road in Tempe Tuesday morning.
Video from the scene showed a large number of fire crews in the area with road closures in place after 6 a.m.
The Tempe Fire Department says the initial call reported that people may have been trapped inside one of the apartments, but once on scene firefighters discovered everyone was able to escape safely.
Firefighters were able to contain the fire to two units, though several people are displaced.
There have been several destructive and deadly fires involving homes in the Valley recently.
Just since last week, ABC15 has reported on a deadly house fire in Laveen, a deadly house fire in West Phoenix, a deadly trailer fire in Mesa, and a Tempe apartment fire that sent one person to a hospital.
