A West Jordan spokesperson confirmed with ABC4.com that firefighters responded to the fire just before 10:30 a.m. While the scene remains active as of 12:15 p.m., the spokesperson confirmed the fire is out.
The spokesperson confirmed there were people inside the home at the time of the fire, but could not say how many were inside the home or their ages. One witness reported to ABC4.com that at least one patient had been taken to a local area hospital by helicopter, though the city spokesperson was unable to officially confirm that information.

Brandon Toale, a resident of the neighborhood, said he saw flames coming out of the multi-story home and firefighters attacking the flames from the outside. But he said the immediate feeling the fire brought was a sense of community.
“Mostly the conversations [among bystanders] were ‘Do we know what happened?’ and ‘How can we help?'” Toale said. “I think that’s one of the best things about this community.”
ABC4 has a crew on scene and is working to confirm additional information.
