SCOTTSDALE, AZ - Authorities say the roof collapsed at a Scottsdale home where a fire burned Sunday evening.
Scottsdale police said the fire began just before 5:30 p.m. at the home near 94th Street and Legacy Boulevard.
Officer David Pubins said the homeowner was alone and got out safely.
The home to the east was also evacuated as a precaution.
Pubins said fire crews worked for about 45 minutes to put out the flames. There were no injuries.
The homeowner told authorities that the air conditioner was being worked on prior to the fire starting.
Pubins said it is unknown at this time if that is the cause of the fire, though.
The exact cause of the fire is now under investigation.
