West Jordan fire investigators continued to look into the cause of a weekend condominium complex blaze that killed a woman and injured two other people.
West Jordan city spokesman Kim Wells on Monday identified the victim as 66-year-old Judy Pedersen. Firefighters responding to the 3 p.m. Sunday fire at the Daybreak Hills Condominiums, near 1300 West and 6700 South, found Pedersen deceased inside her ground floor unit.
While the specific cause was undetermined, the fire appeared to have started in or near Pedersen’s residence and then spread up a stairwell to other units. Eight other condos sustained heavy fire, smoke and water damage, forcing 11 people from their homes, WJFD reported.
