Rural Metro Extinguishes Mobile Home Fire in Foothills; No Confirmed Injuries

Rural Metro Fire crews extinguished a mobile-home fire in Yuma’s Foothills neighborhood before 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2026, and reported no human injuries while rescuing four dogs, agency posts and local reporting say.

According to Rural Metro Fire’s social media posts and a KYMA report, firefighters arrived to find a mobile home "with smoke and flames coming from the roof, endangering the neighboring residence" in the area of S. Dorothy Drive and E. 39th Place. KYMA said the visible flames and smoke at the roof and the end of the residence prompted an immediate attack.

KYMA reported that Rural Metro crews deployed hose lines and extinguished the fire "to its place of origin." Rural Metro’s Facebook post, as cited by KYMA, said, "Crews remained on scene to extinguish any hotspots. There were no injuries reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation." Rural Metro’s Instagram account, as cited, noted crews "were able to save 4 dogs" and that the fire was "extinguished the fire quickly."

Initial reports relayed by KYMA indicate the blaze began in an electrical panel and spread to several kitchen appliances. Rural Metro and KYMA both state the cause remains under investigation; no fire investigator or other agency was named in the social posts or the news report, and no official incident report or damage estimate has been released.

Sources do not report any human casualties. Rural Metro’s posts specifically say there were no injuries reported at the scene. The social posts and the KYMA account give no further details on the condition or disposition of the four dogs that Rural Metro says were saved, nor do they provide a precise street address beyond the S. Dorothy Drive and E. 39th Place area.

Rural Metro’s on-scene tactics, as described, included hose line deployment, rapid fire knockdown to the point of origin, and an extended presence to extinguish hotspots. KYMA’s article and the agency social posts together provide the timeline: arrival before 1:30 p.m., immediate suppression actions, and post-knockdown checks on scene.

The agency and local reporting leave key items pending verification: the official cause determination, a formal incident or fire report, a damage assessment for the mobile home and any neighboring structure, and the current status of the rescued dogs. Rural Metro’s social posts serve as the primary on-the-scene account; KYMA supplied location and the initial-cause reporting. Officials have not released further documentation as of this report, and the cause remains under investigation.
