PHOENIX, Ariz. — More freeway lanes have reopened as crews continue to work a fire scene along the Interstate 10 and Interstate 17 stack in central Phoenix Thursday night.
The Arizona Department of Transportation said the single-lane ramp connecting westbound I-10 to southbound I-17 is open. The left lane of the transition from I-10 to I-17 northbound has opened. The right lane will remain closed until it is inspected by ADOT bridge engineers Friday morning. Earlier in the day Air15 video showed massive flames at what is believed to be Breecher Sales, Inc.
“What caught my eye was black smoke,” said Martin Gutierrez, who works a block away from the fire. “And it escalated so quick — six explosions, big explosions. You could actually see them go up in the air,” he said. Viewer video from the scene showed flames ripping into the air just before an explosion was heard.
