SCFD responds to house fire on Ramona Street

SOMERTON, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Somerton/Cocopah Fire Department (SCFD) responded to a house fire early Wednesday morning.

According to a press release, the fire happened in the area of Ramona Street and Somerton Avenue, near Tierra Del Sol Elementary School, after 3 a.m.

Upon arrival, SCFD says crews found a single-story home on fire, prompting them to call the San Luis and Yuma Fire Departments (SLFD and YFD) for help.

SCFD says both they and YFD extinguished the fire, and while there was no one inside at the time of the fire, the house was deemed a total loss.

SCFD says, "SLFD provided backfill at the station," and says no civilians and firefighters were injured.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
