TEMPE, Ariz. — Dozens of people have been displaced following a fire at a mobile home park in Tempe, according to the Tempe Fire Medical Rescue Department.
Fire crews were called to the mobile home park near McClintock Drive and Apache Boulevard around 5 p.m. Monday afternoon.
The department said the fire started out as a tree fire and spread to one of the homes and then quickly moved to a neighboring home.
Because of the damage to the power pole, 12 mobile homes with approximately at least 40 people have been displaced for the night.
No injuries were reported.
Those displaced are being helped by Care7, Red Cross, and the City of Tempe Health and Human Services. A temporary shelter has been established.
