Fire guts tech giant's Arizona facility

According to local news reports, a massive Apple data center in Mesa, Arizona was on fire yesterday.

The fire was limited to solar panels above the building, and never actually got inside, according to that report.

As many as 50 people had to be evacuated, but nobody was hurt. 100 firefighters were on the scene, according to further reports on the incident.

Sources say it's currently unknown what exactly started the fire, which local fire crews were able to get under control in 35 minutes and completely put out afterwards.

The solar panels on the building were part of a deal Apple had with the local community to provide power to 14,000 local homes.

Just this past February, Apple committed $2 billion to renovating the facility over 10 years, aimed at turning it into a "command center" for its global operations.
