YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A fire broke in a Yuma store Tuesday morning, but no one got hurt and damage was minimal.

The fire broke out just before noon at the Ross Dress for Less in the Yuma Palms Regional Center. Employees noticed a smoking rack of clothing, and began evacuating customers. Other workers then tried to put out the fire. An overhead sprinkler activated and helped them put out the flames.
