25,000-Square-Foot Utah Mansion Gutted By Fire

A large Holladay home was ravaged in a blaze late Saturday, firefighters said.

Crews were called to 6085 S. Tolcate Woods Lane (2930 East) at 8:20 p.m. where the fire had started in the basement, Unified Fire Authority officials said. By late Sunday evening, they continued working to put out hot spots.

When firefighters arrived, they saw smoke coming from the attic and initially went into the house to battle the fire. They were pulled out because of the fire spreading from the basement. The risk of firefighters falling through the floors was heightened, Unified fire spokesman Matthew McFarland said.

The home’s two residents weren’t there when the fire broke out, he said. The home was 25,000 square feet in size and the fire eventually spread to all four floors of the structure.
