PHOENIX -- A double house fire in Phoenix displaced nine people on Monday morning, authorities said.

Crews with the Phoenix Fire Department responded to the scene near 27th Avenue and Indian School Road around 7 a.m.

Initial reports said the flames from a burning carport were quickly extending to the second home. Unlike a garage, a carport is an outdoor structure typically separated from residences that protects vehicles from the elements.

Firefighters quickly cleared both homes of occupants while trying to stop the spread.

There were no reported injuries to the firefighters or the residents.

The community assistance program has been dispatched to help the displaced residents.

The Phoenix FD Fire Investigations Task Force is currently trying to determine the cause of the fire.
