PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Multiple people are without a home and their pet after their house caught fire on Tuesday afternoon in the west Phoenix neighborhood of Maryvale.
Around 3:30 p.m., Phoenix Fire was called to 83rd Avenue and Osborn Road, where smoke was reportedly coming out of a home’s window.
Crews arrived and declared a working fire. They immediately went to work to search the home and attack the flames from the ground and roof.
