Fire Costs Utah Jiffy Lube Thousands of Dollars in Damage

A fire caused by a malfunctioning piece of equipment has left a Utah Jiffy Lube with thousands of dollars in damage, according to KSL 5 TV.

The incident occurred this past Tuesday at a Jiffy Lube in Cottonwood Heights, Utah, nearby 1300 Fort Union Boulevard.

First igniting in an attic space, the fire was caused by a faulty heater that had recently been installed in the facility, according to Capt. Tony Barker with Unified Fire Authority.

Though it was quickly extinguished by crews on scene, the fire caused more than $100,000 in damage to the building. Investigators are still seeking a specific cause behind the fire.
