The Phoenix Fire Department says two people were taken to the hospital following a Friday morning fire in the 15200 block of Vincennes Road.
A fire Friday morning destroyed a home in the 15200 block of Vincennes Road in Phoenix.
Tanisha Curtis, who lives in the home, said the heater inside the home wasn’t working. She said the landlord sent crews out twice since November to fix the heater, but after a day or two it wouldn’t work again.Curtis said her son was using a space heater in the back bedroom to keep warm, and it must have been close to the mattress or a piece of clothing because that’s where the fire appears to have started.Phoenix Fire Department crews responded at about 6 a.m.
A basketball hoop and trash cans were tipped over on the property as fire crews and the arson team walked in and out of the house about 8:45 a.m. Friday. A bicycle on the porch was bent and porch railings were missing as the fire destroyed the majority of the rear of the home. Curtis, a nursing student at ATS Institute of Technology, said she considered going to class but realized she couldn’t because all her course work and nursing supplies were inside the house.Her family will look to stay with family or friends Friday night, she said.
