Downtown Salt Lake City apartment blaze evacuates dozens

An early Thursday morning fire forced evacuation of about 30 residents of a downtown Salt Lake City apartment complex. No injuries were reported.

The cause of the 1:35 a.m. fire at 79 N. A Street was still under investigation, but Salt Lake City Fire Department investigators believe it began in a basement storage area below a ground-level apartment.

The flames then spread into the unit, which was occupied by a couple and their infant. The family was evacuated safely, SLCFD reported.
