YFD responds to fire at Econo Lodge on Arizona Avenue

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Yuma Fire Department (YFD) responded to a hotel fire Saturday morning.

According to a press release, the fire happened at around 8:00 a.m. at Econo Lodge, located in the area of S. Arizona Avenue and E. 16th Street.

Upon arrival, YFD says crews found smoke coming from a hotel room on the second floor, prompting crews to quickly find a "room and contents fire" and conduct an "aggressive interior fire attack."

YFD says the fire was extinguished, limiting damage to the room of origin, but there was smoke damage in the adjoining room, with management being able to relocate guests to other rooms within the hotel.

While there were no injuries reported, YFD says crews will remain on scene to conduct a fire watch throughout the evening as a precaution.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
