VIDEO/PHOTOS: Approximately 125 firefighters battled a brush fire on North Mountain. At around noon on Tuesday, Phoenix Fire crews were called to the mountain, near 7th Street and Peoria Avenue for a fire. Smoke could be seen coming from the mountain. Phoenix Fire officials say crews worked to fight the flames from two sides to cut off the flames in case they were to approach nearby residences, cell phone antennas and other critical infrastructure. Strong winds and hot temperatures created difficult conditions for firefighters. It’s unclear at this time what started the fire. Officials say no injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported. The investigation remains ongoing.
