VIDEOS/PHOTOS: Phoenix fire crews battled a large fire at an apartment complex early Wednesday morning that left dozens of people displaced.

Crews were first called to an apartment complex near 27th Avenue and Indian School Road around 3:30 a.m. for reports of a fire.

Video from the scene showed large flames and smoke coming from the top floor of one of the three-story residential buildings.

The call was upgraded to a first-alarm response by the fire department due to the size of the building, which experienced a partial roof collapse during the blaze.

ABC15 spoke with residents who had been evacuated, including two who said they opened the door to their apartment and saw flames were “coming right at them.” They described the experience as “terrifying.”

There is no word yet on the extent of damage, but Phoenix Fire officials say about 20 units were affected. Crews say about 30 people are displaced, and they are being assisted by the Red Cross.

VIDEO: Louisville is getting a high-tech boost to its emergency response efforts.

City leaders unveiled a new Mobile Emergency Operations Center designed to help first responders coordinate during major incidents and large events.

Mayor Craig Greenberg introduced the new unit Tuesday at Waterfront Park.

The fully equipped command truck allows emergency teams to manage operations directly from the scene of a disaster or large public gathering.

This is the second Mobile Emergency Operations Center that can be sent anywhere across the state to help first responders manage emergencies in real time.

Greenberg said the new unit strengthens the city’s ability to respond before, during and after emergencies. “It increases our capabilities before, during and after incidents and events,” Greenberg said.

City leaders say the mobile center can be deployed during disasters such as severe flooding or large-scale emergencies, including the response to the UPS plane crash, which Greenberg referenced as an example of the type of incident where mobile coordination can be critical.
