Sedona AZ  (October 10, 2017) – Shortly after noon on Monday, October 9, 2017, the Sedona Fire District was notified of a fire at 175 Sunset Pass Road, Village of Oak Creek, Sedona.

“When firefighters arrived they found a 1000 square foot detached workshop completely engulfed in flames,” said SFD Fire Marshal Jon Davis. “Fire crews worked quickly to contain the fire and were successful in keeping it from spreading to nearby structures or trees.”

Firefighters remained on the scene for almost four hours to ensure the fire was completely extinguished.

“During the night our crews checked on the remains of the building to make sure that the fire remained out and did not rekindle,” said Davis. “This is standard practice for us. We would hate to have a fire re-start in the middle of the night when it would be likely to go unnoticed for long periods of time.”

The loss of the building and contents is estimated to be around $100,000. No injuries were reported.

“The cause of the fire is under investigation, but does not appear to be suspicious in nature,” advised Davis.
