Maricopa firefighters responded Thursday to a two-story house fire at North Lousandra Drive and West Estrada Street in Senita.
City fire units and Valley partners were dispatched to the home in response to a dangerous fire believed to have started on the second floor. Multiple Maricopa police units redirected residents away from the street while fire crews suited up to enter the home. They made an aggressive interior attack on the fire while searching for people inside.
“We’re working toward extinguishment and some ventilation right now and getting primary ‘all clears’ on both the first and second floor,” MFD Deputy Chief Chris Bolinger said. “There are no reported injuries to any of the occupants or fire crews and the fire is currently under investigation. Smoke detectors alerted the residents to the fire which allowed all occupants to safely evacuate the building prior to Fire Department arrival.”
More information will be provided as it becomes available. The Maricopa Fire Department wants to remind the community that smoke detectors save lives, so please test them regularly and change the batteries annually.
