UPDATE: 12:51 PM

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma Fire Department (YFD) confirms, an early morning mobile home fire killed one man.

YFD says it got a call just after seven Sunday morning regarding a fire with a possible victim inside. Firefighters arrived at an RV park at E. 32nd Street and Avenue 6E to find smoke and flames coming from the trailer.
