Phoenix Firefighters Battle Toilet Warehouse Blaze
PHOENIX - Firefighters say a first-alarm blaze at a warehouse south of the downtown Phoenix area has been extinguished.
Phoenix Fire Department officials say the blaze broke early Tuesday evening at a portable toilet storage facility on East Hadley Street. Its cause is not immediately known.
Crews say up to 100 plastic toilets were burned and the fire sent large plumes of black smoke over the downtown area. The fire was mostly out by 6:45 p.m. but Phoenix fire personnel treated the area as a hazardous materials scene for hours because plastic was involved.
There are no reported injuries.
