Arizona - Melea Hoenshell sobbed Tuesday in Mesa as she looked up at her apartment engulfed in flames and the black hole that was once a bedroom. More than 50 firefighters from Mesa, Tempe and Gilbert swarmed the Fiesta Park Village apartments at 839 Westwood near Alma School Road and Eighth Avenue, battling a fire that started just before 3 p.m. inside a bedroom in Hoenshell's unit and spread through the attic of the building, said Mesa fire spokeswoman Marrisa Ramirez Ramos.
Hoenshell said she had just finished eating lunch with her children when her 6-year-old boy came running into her room.
He came in and said 'Mom! Mom!, the mattress is on fire,' Hoenshell said. I said: 'Oh no! What did you do?'
Hoenshell rushed in to find the bottom bunk bed on fire. It spread so quickly and spewed so much smoke she couldn't put it out.
The little boy suffered burns on his hand, but the Hoenshells and others in the eight-unit building all escaped. Eleven people were displaced, and fire officials helped families seek aid.
Neighbor Bob Crawford, 56, sat on the grass outside his apartment and watched the orange flames consuming the roof above his unit
