PHOENIX (AP) - Phoenix firefighters are battling a hay fire that they expect won’t be immediately extinguished at a location in the city’s southwestern outskirts.

Fire Capt. Rob McDade says crews are concentrating both on fighting the fire and protecting a neighborhood of homes to the south.

McDade says firefighters expected the fire will be a prolonged event as the base of the fire will be hard to reach amid large stacks of hay.
