First Alarm Fire Engulfs RV Storage Facility in Chandler; Smoke Visible for Miles
Chandler, AZ — Thick plumes of black smoke could be seen for miles across the Southeast Valley Wednesday evening after a massive fire erupted at an RV storage facility near 1000 S. Kyrene Road, located just south of the Loop 202 Santan Freeway on the Gila River Indian Reservation.
The blaze destroyed nearly a dozen recreational vehicles, according to early reports, prompting a fast and aggressive multi-agency response. Fire crews from Chandler, Phoenix, and Gila River were dispatched to the scene around 5:47 PM, with the fire quickly upgraded to a first-alarm by 6:03 PM. This escalation brought in additional engines and battalion chiefs as flames spread rapidly across the facility.
🚒 According to iSkyNews field reporter Ethan Troutman, the fire broke out in a storage yard near Kyrene and Allison Roads. Photos from the scene showed multiple ladder trucks, a significant fire presence, and smoke towering into the sky, visible even from nearby highways like I-10 and Loop 202.
Crews worked swiftly, and by approximately 6:30 PM, the fire was mostly extinguished. Officials said the fire affected “several” RVs, but no further information was released. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported.
The fire prompted an elevated response level, known as a first alarm, which brings in more resources than a standard fire. The collaborative effort between Chandler Fire, Phoenix Fire, and Gila River Fire helped prevent the fire from spreading beyond the storage yard.
📍The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
