passing train crew and was followed by several additional calls prompting a greater alarm response.
Firefighters arrived to find multiple delivery vehicles, laundry containers, and one shipping container ablaze, with no extension to the large adjacent warehouse. Under the direction of Battalion Chief Kevin Conant firefighters quickly extinguished the flames and prevented the fire from spreading to additional vehicles.
There were no injuries and the cause of the fire appears to be accidental.

On Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 1400, the Bullhead City Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire at 3388 South Ridge Ave. Division Chief Kinsey was first to arrive on scene, reporting heavy smoke and flames from a three car garage with residential exposures to the east and west. Highs winds from the south were a concern and feeding the fire. Two vehicles in the driveway were also on fire. Chief Kinsey immediately requested Clark County Fire Department from Laughlin, Nevada for mutual aid. Afternoon moderate were exceeding 110 degrees with heavy fire and smoke conditions. As Engine 21, arrived firefighters aggressively attacked the fire through the unburned living quarters and held flames to the garage. This offence tactic proved vital to containing flames to the garage with only smoke and heat damage to the interior of the residence. As additional engines arrived, crews were strategically placed to stop the fire from spreading to the residence.
