More than 30 people were without a home after a fire burned through five mobile homes in west Phoenix, fire officials said.
Around 4 p.m. June 22, Phoenix firefighters were sent to a residential area near 43rd Avenue and Van Buren Street where "multiple" mobile homes were on fire, according to Capt. Todd Keller, spokesperson for the Phoenix Fire Department.
Flames from the first alarm fire made its way outside the homes, spreading to other units, as crews maintained a position around the blaze, successfully containing it, Keller said.
Downed power lines were treated by firefighters, Keller said.
There was a power outage in the area, impacting about 60 Salt River Project customers near 41st Avenue and Van Buren Street, as of 6:20 p.m.
A total of 33 people across five mobile homes were displaced as a result of the fire, according to Keller.
No injuries to residents or firefighters were reported, Keller said.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation by the Phoenix Fire Investigations Task Force.
