BULLHEAD CITY – On Sunday evening, June 28, at approximately 4:00 p.m., the Bullhead City Fire Department responded to the report of a brush fire burning on the shoreline near the Riverside parking lot at 653 Highway 95. Upon arrival, firefighters had to reposition their attack due to a strong south wind that was pushing the fire directly toward fire operations. An adult male came out of the brush area, presenting second-degree burns on his upper torso; he was treated on the scene and transported to Western Arizona Regional Medical Center (WARMC).
After an aggressive attack, firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze. It is anticipated that the area will have small pockets of smoldering for the next few days and are monitoring the situation.
