(Structure fire in Winterhaven)…It was reported at close to 5:30 Thursday morning.

County Fire responded to the fire in the 500 block of 1st Street. Two structures were burning, and the fire spread to a third structure. A second alarm was called, and utility companies were asked to cut the gas and power to the area. It turned out, because of the location, the Imperial Irrigation District had to cut power to all of Winterhaven, until the fire was brought under control. Assisting the County to bring the fires under control was Yuma Fire, Yuma Rural Metro, Yuma Marine Corps Fire Department, and AMR Ambulance Service. There were no injuries reported. Two of the structures received extensive damage, the third was only partially involved. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
