No injuries were reported.

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Yuma Fire Department (YFD) responded to a brush fire at West Wetlands Park Loop and came upon multiple fires as tall as the surrounding trees.

At around 5:00 a.m., YFD sent out one firetruck to what they thought was a brush fire and quickly activated a "full assignment" which is when all firetrucks are sent out after seeing how big the fire actually was.

While YFD was at West Wetlands Park Loop, a secondary fire broke out by nearby wood debris due to strong winds.

YFD says about two acres burned.

They also say the main fire took about an hour to contain.

Firefighters continue to work on hotspots and flare-ups.
