Firefighters from Fountain Hills and Fort McDowell fire departments were battling a stubborn attic fire at a residence in the 15000 block of Red Rock Drive in Fountain Hills Friday afternoon.
The call came in about noon with all local units and one engine from Fort McDowell responding. Rural/Metro units were called in from outlying areas to cover additional calls in town.
Rural/Metro Spokesman Colin Williams said there was a construction crew at the house working on the air conditioning unit. They were sweating pipes when the fire started. It quickly spread into the attic making it difficult for firefighters to attack.

Rural/Metro Spokesman Colin Williams said there was a construction crew at the house working on the air conditioning unit. They were sweating pipes when the fire started. It quickly spread into the attic making it difficult for firefighters to attack.
Firefighters were pulled out of the house and went into a defensive attack using a ladder truck and deck guns shortly after arriving on the scene.
