Video: Two-Alarm Fire Levels Phoenix Structure Being Built

A two-alarm fire destroyed a Phoenix apartment complex that was being built Tuesday.

Firefighters responded to the blaze at about 6 a.m. that broke out at a two-story structure that had been under construction for seven months, The Arizona Republic reports. When the first crews arrived at the scene, they found flames fully engulfing the building, and a defensive posture was taken.

Because the building was still in the framing stage, exposed wood fueled the flames. Firefighters were positioned on all four sides of the blaze to keep it from spreading to nearby structures, according to the Republic.

It took about 45 minutes for crews to knock down the fire, the department said in an online update. They remained at the scene for a few hours to put out any hot spots.

No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
