A two-alarm fire tore through a commercial building in West Jordan on Wednesday afternoon near 5700 West, east of the Mountain View Corridor. It was first spotted just after 3 p.m., and smoke from the blaze was visible from a distance, FOX 13 News reported.
A witness who recorded video of the scene told FOX 13 News Utah they heard explosions as the fire grew. That account has not been confirmed by officials.
What We Know So Far
Details remain limited. The building's identity, the fire's cause and whether anyone was hurt have not been confirmed. FOX 13 News reported that it had contacted officials for more information.
The reported explosions remain a witness account, not an official finding about what happened or what caused the fire. The building is in West Jordan, in Salt Lake County.
What national fire figures show
The U.S. Fire Administration estimates that 111,900 nonresidential building fires occurred nationwide in 2024. That national figure does not establish how common these fires are in Utah, which causes state records identify most often, or the cause of the West Jordan fire.
Hoodline will continue to follow this developing story out of West Jordan as more details become available.
