YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – The Yuma Fire Department (YFD) says they responded to a house fire over the weekend.
According to a press release, it happened before 6:00 p.m. Saturday in the area of S. Mary Avenue and E. 26th Street.
Upon arrival, YFD said crews found “light smoke coming from an attached shed addition at the rear of a residence,” prompting them to “quickly set up for a fire attack while investigating the source and extent of the smoke.”
YFD said during the investigation, they determined that fire was “isolated to the wall of the rear attachment,” which appeared to have started on the outside before “extending into an internal void space.”

After that, YFD says crews located and extinguished the fire to the area of origin, preventing further damage to the rest of the house, while removing residual smoke from the home and checked for any additional fire extension.
YFD also said one person was found sleeping inside the home and was safely removed by fire crews. No injuries were reported.
