http://www.softduit.com/mavenmappersinformation/category/fire/ Just as the Laughlin River Run was winding down yesterday afternoon, an unexpected brush fire quickly flared up directly across the Colorado River from Don Laughlin’s Riverside Resort. At approximately 2:30 PM Sunday, smoke and flames were observed near the river adjacent to the Riverside’s Arizona parking lots and camping area. Within minutes several acres had been consumed. Patrol boats quickly converged on the blaze, as Bullhead City Police Officers detained and handcuffed a male near the scene of the fire. Within minutes, units from the Bullhead City Fire Department arrived, and began an intensive effort to contain the blaze. Fire containment took fire units nearly an hour, which consumed several acres of brush, and threatened dozens of vehicles near the river. Officers removed the detainee from the area, and an investigation into the cause of the fire is now underway.
