SALT LAKE CITY — Fire crews were called back out to an apartment complex for a fire for a second time in less than 24 hours in Salt Lake City. The apartment complex is on 400 East near South Temple.

Thursday crews were called out and one person was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Then just after midnight, crews were called back out to the unoccupied apartments for a second time. They tell FOX 13 News when they arrived there was a significant fire through the roof of the building.

Public safety partners are helping Salt Lake City Fire figure out the scope of the fire by having a drone operator fly over the building. Officials say the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

People are being asked to avoid the area due to the response.
