- Sunday's monsoon became dangerous at a home in south Phoenix on Sunday. According to firefighters, the fire spread from a tree to a home near Baseline Road and 7th Avenue around 5:30 p.m. Investigators are still looking into the fire as of Monday afternoon, but the initial impression is that a lightning strike caused the fire. No one was injured. (12news.com KPNX)
