A local, @KruseCalifornia, posted a video on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. Large flames could be seen coming from the roof of the building as fire trucks rushed to the site.
A USAA spokesperson said: “Earlier today, our Phoenix facility was closed due to a fire and resulting smoke. There is minimal damage to the property and no reports of injuries. The fire department is investigating the cause of the fire. The building was closed for the remainder of the day, and will reopen tomorrow to serve our members. We appreciate our on-site Security team and the Phoenix Fire Department for their swift response.”
The USAA building in Phoenix is part of a campus located in the northern part of the city, specifically in the Norterra area near Interstate 17 and Happy Valley Road. This campus serves as one of USAA’s major operational hubs.
The Phoenix campus spans 575 acres. The multi-use facility is primarily focused on supporting USAA’s financial services for military members, veterans, and their families.
USAA Federal Savings Bank was previously headquartered in San Antonio. It relocated its base to Phoenix last year. The shift, in April, took place shortly before its merger with USAA Savings Bank.
