Three Alarm Fire Damages Goodwill Warehouse in Phoenix
A late afternoon three alarm fire gutted about a quarter of a 200 by 55 foot warehouse behind the Goodwill Industries Store in Phoenix. Investigators suspect a mattress sterilizing unit started the blaze, with $55,000 in damage split between $25,000 to the building and $30,000 to contents. No injuries besides one firefighter treated for heat exhaustion. Firefighters fought the heat inside a concrete structure, and security guard Jim Hunt helped restrict spread by keeping two large doors closed. About 60 workers were affected on the sorting belt and in the warehouse.
