Hotel / Motel, Hotel / Restaurant Hotel room fire extinguished by sprinkler system (Yuma, AZ) January 15, 2013 viking210 Sprinklers put out a stove-top fire in a room at a Yuma hotel Saturday afternoon before firefighters arrived. Yuma Fire Department spokesman Mike Erfert said arriving YFD personnel found there had been a fire in a fourth-floor of the hotel and that the sprinkler head near the fire had activated and extinguished the fire. The fire was caused by a pan of oil left heating on the stove by the room’s occupant. Erfert said the fire damage was limited to the immediate area around and above the stove-top. There were no injuries.
