SANDY, Utah, May 23, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — Crews responded to an electrical fire at a Sandy meeting house of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Wednesday afternoon.

Both the Unified Fire Authority and Sandy City Fire Department responded to the church at 9575 S. 3100 South at approximately 1 p.m., according to UFA spokesman Taylor Sandstrom.

There were no injuries as a result of the fire, Sandstrom said.

Investigators are on their way to the scene, he said. Initial reports indicate the fire may have occurred when a light fixture malfunctioned.

At this time there is no exact extent of damages.

It’s not known if there were people in the church at the time the fire broke out.
