The fast -moving fire causes considerable damage, roof collapse in the house in South Jordan

The origin of a house fire in South -Jordan is still being examined after a scary fire spread quickly in a house.

“I came out and just like in flames and there was only smoke and there were so many trucks,” said Avery Seare, a neighbor.

Seare said the situation was quickly escalated.

“One of our neighbors came and ran to us and said we would have to get out because it was really windy and we didn't know if it would spread,” said Sear.

Ryan Lester, a spokesman for South Jordan's fire brigade, said the firefighters were quickly put into action.

“Our firefighters arrived quickly, got a quick degradation from the outside, ensured that the fire was isolated on the attic and worked as much as possible to save,” said Lester.

However, the damage was significant – the roof burned and broke. The consequences left Seare with a broken heart.

“It's just really sad, because if you are used to see your neighbors outside every day and only see you to see you, even if you come home, it will be different because I know that you are the sweet couple of all time,” said Seare.

Firefighters are still working on determining the cause of the fire, and according to Lester it could be several factors.

“Everything could be in the attic. It could be the chimney,” said Lester.

“As always being prepared and stay calm in these situations, because as soon as it happens, it will just make it better,” said Seare.
