When Apartments Go Up in Flames: A Fiery Tale from Lehi

In a plot twist that even the best sitcom writers couldn't dream up, a massive fire decided to crash the party at an apartment complex under construction near Point of the Mountain in Lehi. Who needs a grand opening when you can have a grand burning instead?

According to KUTV, the flames were so intense that they could probably be seen from space. And while the future residents might have been looking forward to a cozy new home, they’ll have to settle for a fiery tale instead.

The Salt Lake Tribune added that firefighters were on the scene faster than you can say “fire drill,” battling the blaze that was more enthusiastic than a kid with a new toy. You can read more about it here.

As the smoke cleared, FOX 13 News Utah reported that the fire fully engulfed the structure, which is a real bummer for anyone hoping to move in soon. But hey, at least they won’t have to worry about noisy neighbors for a while! For the full scoop, check out their coverage here.

So, what’s the lesson here? Maybe it’s that the only thing more volatile than real estate prices is an apartment complex under construction. Stay safe, Lehi!
