When firefighters arrived on the scene, they found a a fully involved unit on the second floor.

"It was a fast-moving fire," said Capt. Dorian Jackson of the Phoenix Fire Department. "They were able to contain it to that apartment, with a little damage to the apartment [next door]."

Residents said they saw flames shooting from the back of the apartment.
