YFD responds to house fire on S. 12th Avenue

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Yuma Fire Department (YFD) responded to a house fire Tuesday afternoon.

According to a press release, it happened in the area of S. 12th Avenue and W. 12th Street at around 1:30 p.m.

Upon arrival, YFD says crews found smoke and flames coming from the backyard of a single-story, single-family home, prompting them to immediately deploy hose lines and conduct an "aggressive fire attack," extinguishing the fire in the backyard.

During that time, YFD says crews saw smoke coming from the home's vents and conducted a search inside the home to check for any fire extension.

YFD then says a fire was located in the attic and it was immediately extinguished, and says, "Firefighters were able to contain the damage to one room, preventing further spread throughout the home."

While no injuries were reported, the cause of the fire is currently under investigation, YFD says.
