MESA, AZ — Mesa fire crews battled a second-alarm fire near Country Club Drive and Southern Avenue.
According to information at the scene, the fast-moving fire ripped through two homes starting around 6 a.m. Monday. The homes were vacant, but there may have been people staying inside one of the homes at the time.
Fire officials say due to the dense area and excessive heat of the fire, support from neighboring fire departments had to be called in with dozens of firefighters in total at the scene.
Smoke from the fire could be seen from the US 60 and even as far as Scottsdale, as shown in a photo from an ABC15 viewer.
One firefighter reportedly suffered a minor burn injury, according to fire officials.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
