TEMPE, AZ — Tempe Fire Medical Rescue crews responded Wednesday night to a reported high-rise fire on the 16th floor of a building located at 704 S. Myrtle Avenue.
According to officials, the fire suppression system activated and kept the blaze under control until firefighters arrived. Crews quickly contained the flames to a single apartment unit.
“No injuries to people or pets were reported, which is the best outcome we could hope for in a situation like this,” Tempe Fire said in a statement.
While the fire was confined to one apartment, significant water damage impacted multiple floors of the building. Approximately 30 residents were displaced as a result. Tempe Fire Medical Rescue is working closely with the building’s management company to arrange alternative housing for those affected.
