SANDY, Utah — Multiple fire crews were dispatched to a house fire in Sandy on Sunday morning.

According to Deputy Chief Ryan McConaghie, the homeowners reported smelling electrical smoke most of the morning, but were unable to find a source.

Additional teams were brought in from West Jordan and Unified Fire.

Crews were able to contain the fire to the attic.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and damages are estimated at $100,000.
