VIDEO: A huge fire broke out at an apartment building that is under construction in central Phoenix early Tuesday morning. Video from the scene shows massive flames engulfing the building north of 12th Street and Indian School Road. The Phoenix Fire Department said it was called out shortly before 6 a.m. Crews immediately went defensive and requested more firefighters be assigned. A large plume of black smoke could be seen for miles. One viewer told Arizona's Family that they saw the smoke from Gilbert. Capt. Todd Keller with the Phoenix Fire Department said the building was a two-story apartment building that has been under construction. The owners of nearby businesses told the Phoenix Fire Department construction had been going on for about seven months. The building reportedly was still in the framing stage which means there was plenty of exposed wood to feed the flames.
