Good morning, Yuma. Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 7th of August.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • The Yuma Fire Department and Rural Metro Fire are warning residents not to leave children in hot cars—especially after a Phoenix father was arrested last month on felony charges when his four children were found in a hot car.  KYMA
  • Parks and Recreation will host the annual Father—Daughter Ball in Yuma on September 13 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Hillton Garden Inn Pivot Point Conference Center—girls ages 4—12 will dance with their fathers or father figures in a semi-formal event featuring live music, a flower presentation, a keepsake photo, dinner, and dessert.  KYMA

ENVIRONMENT NEWS
