SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Fire Department responded to a house fire Saturday afternoon.
According to Salt Lake City Fire Department Captain Anthony Burton, the call came in at 3:39 p.m. A neighbor spotted heavy smoke coming from the structure and notified authorities.
When first responders arrived on scene at 2562 S. Park Street there was visible smoke and flames.
The fire then moved to the attic. However, crews had the fire under control in about 30 minutes.
“We just appreciate the public support,” Burton said. “That calling it in early, really made the difference.”
