Red Cross helps single parents

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The Yuma Fire Department (YFD) blames smoking for a fire that severely damaged a Yuma RV on Wednesday afternoon.

The fire started just before three in the Wild West Mobile Home Park on 16th Street. When the fire brigade arrived, it turned out that part of the porch of the house was on fire. At first glance it almost looked, but the flames had spread up into the room above the ceiling.

The fire department had the fire under control in about 20 minutes, but the flames caused significant damage. The house is not habitable without repairs. The Red Cross helps the residents of the house.

According to the YFD, firefighters believe the fire was started by a cigarette or some other type of smoking material.
