Rural Metro responds to RV park fire

UPDATE (5:20 PM): A fire broke out at Yuma River RV Park Monday morning, destroying four trailers and one vehicle. The fire also claimed the life of a dog.

The park is located north of the Colorado River.

Battalion Chief Jeff Woodruff shares what the crew saw when they arrived on scene.

"When they got on scene they had one home fully involved, a motor home fully involved, and the second home was starting to catch fire, and they continued to work it," said Chief Woodruff.

Rural Metro says no other injuries were reported.

Meanwhile, Michael Kimbll, a maintenance worker at the park, describes what he felt as he saw the flames spread from one building to another.

"It's unimaginable what goes through your mind at the time when there is a fire, you know this isn't the first fire I've seen, but the worst," Kimbll says.

The case is still under investigation.
