Multiple house fires under investigation in Phoenix, Gilbert and Chandler on New Year’s Day

Share

VIDEO: Fire investigators around the Valley are working to learn more about what led to multiple house fires overnight. While no one was injured during any of the reported fires, multiple families are starting the new year displaced from their homes in Phoenix, Gilbert, and Chandler.

Gilbert – near Val Vista Drive and Guadalupe Road

Late Wednesday night, fire crews were called to check out a fire at a home in the area of Val Vista Drive and Guadalupe Road. Barb and her husband, along with several family members visiting from Minnesota, heard a loud explosion coming from their garage before all six people inside rushed out safely.

“It was a huge explosion, the house shook,” Barb said. The garage fire eventually spread to the attic. No injuries were reported. While the cause may not be unknown until the structure is safe for investigators to enter, some neighbors believe fireworks may have been involved.
