YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma Fire Department responded to a kitchen fire on Tuesday.

YFD said that the fire broke out at around 8:30pm in the area near of North 17th Avenue and West 1st Street.

When YFD arrived at the scene, they saw smoke coming from the front door of a single family home. They then quickly put out the small kitchen fire, stopping it from spreading throughout the home.
