YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – The Yuma Fire Department (YFD) responded to a mobile home fire over the weekend.
According to a press release, it happened in the area of N. 19th Avenue and W. First Street Saturday at around 5 p.m.
Upon arrival, YFD says, “Crews found smoke coming from the mobile home,” and says they entered the mobile home through an unlocked rear door, after receiving no response at the front door, and located the fire in a bedroom.
YFD says fire crews quickly extinguished the fire, preventing it from spreading to other parts of the home, and contained it to the bedroom and its contents.
YFD also says no injuries were reported, and says the residents were not home at the time of the fire, but they arrived shortly after fire crews were on scene.
In addition, YFD says they contacted the American Red Cross to help two adults and five children who were displaced.
YFD says fire crews remained on scene to make sure the fire was fully extinguished as well as check for any hotspots, and says they monitored the home by driving by for the next few hours as a precaution.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
