Crews battle scrapyard amid hot weather

A scrapyard near 35th Avenue and Clarendon in Phoenix caught fire on June 16, and crews worked in hot weather conditions to contain the blaze. FOX 10;s Andrew Christiansen has more.

PHOENIX - Phoenix Fire officials say crews were quickly deployed to battle a fire at a scrapyard on June 16.

What we know:

Per a statement, crews were sent at around noon to the area of 39th Avenue and Indian School Road.

"On arrival, firefighters had heavy smoke and flames coming from a scrapyard," fire officials wrote. "Firefighters were able to make an effective stop on the bow-strung structure before extension into the building, and quickly stopped a heavily wind-driven fire from extending to the east exposure."

Local perspective:

We spoke with some people in the area who saw the fire spreading.

""It seems like they were dumping some trash inside of a trailer, and it just got up into flames, and it started burning," said Julian.

"Nothing but smoke, and then we saw shooting flames," said Tammy. "It was taller than that palm tree over there."

No injuries were reported.

What's next:

Phoenix Fire officials say crews "will remain on scene for an extended period of time to complete the fire fight."
