SALT LAKE CITY — Fire crews worked overnight to battle a fire that sparked in an abandoned building in Salt Lake City.

It's still unknown how the building, located at 52 East 300 South, caught fire.

Since the building had been abandoned for so long, crews took a defensive approach and did not send anyone inside to extinguish the flames.

The structure was not safe to send crews into, and officials say they were not made aware that anyone was inside the building at the time the fire started.

Officials told FOX 13 News crews are letting the fire burn out on its own while keeping an eye on it to make sure it won't spread to any other structures in the area.
