Phoenix firefighters and hazmat crews were called to the scene of a west Valley RV dealership Thursday, after a fire and explosions were reported.
It happened around 1:30 p.m. at La Mesa RV near 75th Avenue and McDowell.
Fire officials say a fire started in one RV. It was quickly upgraded to a hazardous materials assignment after the flames spread to nearby propane tanks, igniting explosions.
"Crews will be fighting this fire from a defensive position with ladder pipes and from the exterior," says Reda Bigler with the Phoenix Fire Department.
Fire crews were able to bring the blaze under control a short time later.
One person was evaluated by firefighters but was not transported.
All exposures were protected by firefighters and no other property was damaged. The fire is under investigation
