A massive fire at a scrap yard lit up the Phoenix sky Thursday night.
Firefighters encountered heavy fire involving pallets and quickly called for additional alarms.
Capt. Todd Keller said all nearby businesses were evacuated as the fire's intensity grew, azfamily reported.
“This is a highly industrial area, commercial area, so you’re going to have scrap yards, you’re going have pallet yards, so there are fires there. Recently, I know we did have one a couple of weeks ago. You have this much combustible material, and this is exactly what happens when something catches fire. You put wind as a factor, it’s going to make a big difference,” he said.
The cause remains under investigation.
