A fire that occurred at Arizona Development Services, a marijuana cultivation facility, over the weekend is currently under investigation.
The Coolidge Fire Department responded to the facility, located near the intersection of Coolidge Avenue and Macrae Road, at around 6:51 p.m. on Sunday. Fire Chief Mark Dillon said the call initially came in as a fire caused by a lightning strike. Upon arriving on scene, however, crews discovered that the fire was actually coming from an internal source.
“After the initial investigation we determined it was not lightening that stuck the facility," he said. "It was improperly stored hazardous materials."
