Wasatch Fire District PIO Janet Carson reports that the fire district sent an engine to respond to a chimney fire in the Timber Lakes area, about 15 minutes East of Heber, a little before 7:00 pm. That fire was contained with no damage. Around 20 minutes after the chimney fire began the fire crew was paged out for a fully engulfed cabin about a mile up the road from the first fire.
“The first engine that was there at the other scene responded to this one,” Carson explained. “Re-routed over there and then we brought units from Heber. The home was reported by neighbors to be fully engulfed. There was no one in the home at the time. I'm not sure when the owners had been there last, but there was no one there. So, we made an attack from the outside. We weren't able to make entry into the home because of the fire that was burning inside. Basically, the home is probably a total loss. So, at this time we don't know what caused the fire, but the fire is out now.”
