A prolonged excessive heat warning in Maricopa is literally setting the city on fire.
A lawnmower burst into flames on the side of a residential road this morning, according to a public safety official.
Around 10:30 a.m., Maricopa emergency services responded to reports of a roadside fire in the Rancho El Dorado neighborhood, according to city spokesperson Monica Williams.
A landscaping company’s ride-on lawnmower combusted on Rancho El Dorado Parkway. The Maricopa Fire Department has yet to determine the cause.
No one was injured in the fire.
The road was closed as a precaution and the fire was put out quickly, according to Williams.

Love this pic with some dude casually standing there inside the blast radius observing the fuel line burning on this explosion hazard.
