A large structure fire in the Millcreek area was seen all across the Salt Lake Valley late Tuesday afternoon.
The fire was located at an apartment complex under construction flames reportedly reached up to 100 ft.
Officials said the hot and dry conditions made the building go up in flames extremely quick.
“All the wood is preheated its warm with these heats and humidity drops. No moisture in the atmosphere and the fuels are dry and incredibly and receptive to heat and flames,” said Patrick Costin with Unified Fire Authority. “That’s why they burn so quickly and so hot.”
