Fire at a utah state university student
apartment complex extinguished
An off-campus Utah State University student apartment
complex caught fire this morning. Logan firefighters were able to put out the
blaze before it spread throughout the almost-vacant building. The cause is
still under investigation.
One occupant was evacuated from Aggie Flats, located at
729 East 900 North, but no one else was home because students are away for the
holidays, according to Logan Fire Department PIO Craig Humphreys.
One unit is “at a total loss,” Humphreys said, while four
other units sustained “water damage.” No other units were harmed, he said.
There are 18 units total that make up the complex.
The Logan Fire Department responded to a possible fire
at around 8:10 a.m. this morning and upgraded it to a “working structure fire”
shortly after arriving on scene. Flames were coming out the back window of a
third-story apartment, Humphreys said, and they were extinguished.
The Logan Fire Department told The Herald Journal it
would likely have more information later today. An investigation is
ongoing.
