An early morning house fire in west valley City left a family homeless. The resident heard a "crackling noise" and got out of bed to investigate. She found smoke coming from one of the utility rooms. She quickly woke other family members to ge them out. One family member left the door to the room on fire open and it quickly spread through out the house. One young boy had to be pulled out of his window in order to get out.
Captain Rob Huffman and engine 73 were the first to arrive. They could see the fire from a few blocks away. When fire crews arrived the house was well involved with smoke and flames coming from the front doors and windows as well as from the back of the home.. The decision for an offensive fire attack was made and crews were able to quickly gain control of this destructive fire. The fire is currently under investigation. Damage to the home is estimated to be about 100,000. Smoke detectors were present in the home, how ever it is not known if they activated.
