They tried attacking the fire from inside the home, but the roof began to cave in and they pulled out. It took several crews over six hours to extinguish the fire. The homeowners were not home at the time of the fire.Poston Butte High School suffered damage to the outdoor grounds of its campus. Part of a roof was blown off a bus barn and a fence fell over on the baseball field. Many downed trees were also reported in San Tan Valley.
