Large fire sparks in central Phoenix

A large fire has sparked in central Phoenix near 40th Street and McDowell.

Firefighters are not paid enough. Working in pure hell. Great coverage, by the way.

How can fireworks be legal during this time of high-risk fires?

[@moemcgovern7345]

Let the professionals handle them.

[@scatdog1]

No !! Republicans are the ones putting out the fires it’s your freak show democrats that keep lighting them.

[@moemcgovern7345]

@@manuelescareno7031 How can you blame either political party for this catastrophe? Think, before you post.

[@sharondowns3606]

Right? It's up to the city ordinances. There should not be fireworks but for one day independence day. 1) its really too dry. 2) it's cruelty to animals) and 3) it becomes a nuisance. One day , ONE DAY FOR FIREWORKS!

[@manuelescareno7031]

@@moemcgovern7345 the fireworks industry gives hundreds of thousands of dollars to republican oficials. Look it up.

[@Metalfusioncowboy]

I’m surprised fireworks are legal 💥

[@eckankar7756]

I'm hearing fireworks going off for hours every night the past few nights. I wonder if that could cause the fires.

[@coffeepandacat]

YES. The embers can definitely fall and cause a fire

[@joesell2565]

Fireworks should be illegal when it is such a high risk season for fires.

Arizona is akin to living in a gun powder keg and taking care of the spark this fire season. Be careful out there.

[@marilyn8490]

We do live in an area where fireworks are just a terrible idea. There is nothing sacred (even though it is traditional) about fireworks when you live in a wildfire area. Celebrating in other ways is the smart way to go.

[@shamrock5725]

It wasnt fireworks

[@juliepiemonte3268]

I live near 35th and Myrtle and there was a big fire this afternoon at about 3:00pm a couple of streets west of me.

As a retired FF...good job on attacking it

Great reporting 15!

[@royalnavarre1673]

People need to stop being curious and get out of that area for the sake of their health.

I totally agree. There's lots if scientific evidence about the intergenerational effects of fire smoke on biological bodies.

So a little palm tree caught fire and burned a block of home to the ground... SOUNDS SUSPECT!! They catch fire here in Las Vegas, but just the tree burns!! Not the entire neighborhood!!! This is deliberate

[@robertmackenzie7917]

Is metal melting too?

[@suzannpuppiesareprecious5285]

There shouldn't be any private fire works this 4th of July ,because of the dry vegetation in Phoenix that will cause more fires in the Phoenix Area. The heat and dry weather will causes even more fires. Anyone caught with fireworks will be charged with very large fines due to the fires they will cause and probably have maybe even caused already. Please have a safe cool pool party's this 4th of July. Only go to safe places where the fire department is at for any safety fireworks. Please don't use fireworks yourself and enjoy safe fireworks that are provided, held for the public. Let's all enjoy a safe 4th of July without fires.
