Fire at Betty’s Kitchen National Recreational Trail

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A fire broke out at Betty's Kitchen National Recreation Trail in Yuma earlier Saturday.

According to the Rural Metro Fire Department, the fire has spread over 200 acres.

Furthermore, Rural Metro Fire Battalion Chief Jeff Woodruff said a Jeep Wrangler caused the fire on Laguna Dam Road.

While a bystander said the Jeep rolled Friday night, Rural Metro said the fire didn't break out until noon.

Fortunately, no one was in the car when the fire department arrived, and they did not report any injuries.

Rural Metro had six personnel on scene and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) had one truck and one fire boat.

After a few hours, BLM released Rural Metro at 4:30pm so they could continue to work.
