Firefighter taken to hospital after two houses catch fire in Draper

DRAPER, Utah (ABC4) — One firefighter was taken to the hospital after two homes caught fire in Draper Saturday morning, according to Draper Fire. Additionally, four individuals were displaced as a result of the incident.

The fire began shortly after 7 a.m. on July 12, according to Battalion Chief Brian Plummer, Draper Fire. Firefighters arrived on scene at 300 East between Stokes Ave. and 13800 South to find flames and heavy smoke coming from the scene.

Firefighters believe the back deck of one of the houses caught fire and the flames moved inside the house — though the cause is still being investigated at this time. Three people inside the home were evacuated as a result.

The fire from this house then spread to a second house, where one person was evacuated.

One firefighter was reportedly taken to the hospital for heat exhaustion. He was medically evaluated and has since been released. No other injuries occurred at the scene, though all four individuals have been displaced.

The first home that caught fire is a total loss estimated at around $650,000 in damages. The second home is estimated at $75,000 in damages.

300 East between Stokes Ave. and 13800 South was closed as the firefighters worked the scene.

No further information is available at this time.
