Firefighters battle structure fire in central Phoenix

Firefighters battled a first-alarm structure fire on Monday night in central Phoenix, the department said.

The fire broke out the night of March 14 near Camelback Road and 7th Avenue at a single-story commercial building just before 8 p.m., says Phoenix Fire Captain Todd Keller.

"Due to the amount of fire and smoke command declared a defensive strategy. Fire apparatuses were placed on all four sides of the structure protecting two adjacent exposures," he added.

The fire is out and there aren't any reported injuries to fire crews or the public.
