Posted

Fires on Saturday afternoon in Glendale and Buckeye are under control after crews battled the blazes for hours in 110-degree heat.

Officials said they are investigating a warehouse fire that broke out Saturday near 5600 W. Bethany Home Road in Glendale. The fire damaged a building and vehicles that were inside and outside.

Units from Glendale, Phoenix and Peoria fought the first-alarm fire, which sent plumes of smoke into the air that could be seen for miles.

In Buckeye, firefighters from several departments worked to contain a second-alarm brush fire near Arlington School Road and Old Highway 80, according to the Arizona Fire & Medical Authority.

AFMA officials said on a social media account that the 110-degree heat “made the operation more difficult.”

No injuries had been reported in either fire.
