UPDATE 1:21 p.m.: Crews left the scene at 11:25 a.m. 

UPDATE 10:20 a.m.: Park City Fire Department crews are still on scene at the fire, located at 6321 North Star View Drive.

According to Fire Chief Bob Zanetti, the fire broke out in a garage at the residence, which presented multiple challenges to the PCFD. 

“We had a few challenges just because it was pretty cold out this morning and there was no other access into the garage besides the main door so we needed to breach the garage door itself,” Zanetti said. “And then there was a lot of the garage was full of like storage stuff. No automobiles in there. And so we had a lot of that stuff on fire.”

Crews were able to get the fire out quickly, and are now looking for extension in the attic area. No injuries were reported.
