UPDATE (2:21 PM): According to Rural Metro, the RV wasn't rear-ended, but said for unknown reasons, the RV caught on fire and veered off the roadway.

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.

While the fire was extinguished and contained to the RV, the home suffered minor damage.

A person who lives in the home, Miguel Pulido, says they're grateful things didn't turn out much worse.

"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.
