YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Flames erupted Monday after an RV crashed into the backyard of a home in Yuma.
According to Rural Metro’s Facebook post, the crash happened at around 5:30 p.m. in the area of S. Pacific Avenue and S. Calle Primavera.
Rural Metro says an RV was rear-ended off of S. Pacific Avenue when the driver lost control and crashed into the backyard of a home off of S. Calle Primavera and burst into flames.
Once crews arrived, Rural Metro said they found the RV fully involved and endangering a home, prompting them to deploy hose lines and extinguish the fire.

“I think it’s more the thought that…if it had spread a little closer, then it would have been scarier, but we’re just lucky it didn’t,” Pulido expressed.
No injuries were reported, but the investigation is ongoing.
