Fire damages units under construction in Yuma

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A large fire at a construction site leaves three units under construction damaged.

The Yuma Fire Department said it received reports of a fire early Wednesday at the 2100 block of west 8th Street.

When firefighters arrived at the scene, they found a large fire in several housing units under construction. Thankfully, fire crews were able to extinguish the fire right away.

While at the scene, they also found a second fire in a construction dumpster on the opposite side of 8th Street. The fire on the dumpster was extinguished thanks to a join effort between YFD and Rural Metro Fire Department.

The Yuma Police Department is investigating the fire.
