The fire started at the historic Silverado apartments on 300 East between 200 and 300 South in the early-morning hours on Monday. Several people posted on social media about hearing a massive explosion that some thought was thunder, before seeing smoke and flames.
Walker confirmed that the fire started there, but said he couldn’t speak to a specific cause yet. The department said the fire was unintentional. All 13 apartments in the Silverado building were damaged, and all of the tenants have been displaced, the fire department said. The Red Cross was on the scene providing assistance.
On Monday morning, crews with Utah Disaster Kleenup were working the scene in cold, drizzly rain. People walking by frequently stopped to remark on the damage. “Damn, that’s scary, you can smell it,” one woman said.
I know the place. It should have been condemned years ago.
Patbagley OMG I had a friend who lived there like a decade ago. The place was indeed a little scary.
Good thing the police weren't involved. More people would have been killed.
I heard this explosion in the Avenues
