On Thursday July 11, 2019, at 7:00 am a fire alarm was received from the San Carlos Hotel, 106 East 1st Street. Yuma Fire Department personnel arrived to find the building being evacuated and reports of smoke in the hallway of the 3rd floor. Firefighters found the smoke was coming from room 302 and that a mattress in that room had been on fire. A fire sprinkler head had activated and extinguished the fire. YFD personnel confirmed the fire was out and began the process of removing the smoke and water from the affected floor.
The adult male occupant of the room was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation and transported to Yuma Regional Medical Center for further evaluation. Another occupant of the building was evaluated for a fall that occurred during the evacuation but further treatment was not required. The American Red Cross assisted displaced building residents while firefighters and building management worked to ready affected apartments to be reoccupied.
The fire damage was limited to a mattress and a portable air conditioning unit in the room where the fire started. Additional apartments on the floor were affected by water flow. Residents from unaffected apartments were able to return right away but clean-up work was still being done to allow for all apartments to be reoccupied. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
This is the 2nd fire sprinkler save in the past 36 hours here in Yuma and the 3rd fire sprinkler save at the San Carlos Hotel since 2017.
Fire sprinkler systems can keep fires from spreading and can also extinguish them. Fire spreads quickly and can double in size every minute. Even small fires can cause significant damage to property and endanger those nearby. Contrary to many Hollywood portrayals, only sprinkler heads directly exposed to the heat activate, not those in the rest of the room, building, or complex. Sprinkler systems save lives and protect property.
According to Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District Fire Marshal Eric Guevin, the call came in just about noon on July 9.
Upon the fire department’s arrival, they found the restaurant’s sprinkler system had been activated and took care of the fire and they went into the attic and back of house to do an overhaul to make sure the fire had not spread.
At this time there is no cause determined and it is unknown when they will be able to reopen. Guevin said the damage was contained to the back of the house.

Authorities received a call at 12:25 a.m. of a fire at a pizzeria on Langelier Boulevard and Magloire Street, said police spokesperson Julien Lévesque.
The building’s sprinkler system put out the fire by the time firefighters arrived on site.
The back door of the business was smashed open and an accelerant material was found at the scene, said police.
There were no injuries or witnesses. The business was closed when the incident happened. Most of the damages were caused by the accumulated water from the sprinklers and not the fire.
There are no suspects at this time, said Lévesque.
The case is being investigated by the police’s arson unit. The site is closed off for investigation.
