CENTERVILLE, Utah — A firefighter in Centerville is recovering after he slipped and fell from a roof while fighting a fire early Monday at a local business.

The fire started at around 3:30 a.m. at the business near 700 North and 1100 West. Police in the area had originally seen smoke coming out of a building and alerted firefighters, who went into the building and encountered flames.

While crews worked to extinguish the flames, one of the firefighters slipped and suffered minor injuries. According to South Davis Metro Fire, the firefighter was taken to the hospital and released following the fall.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, though officials tell FOX 13 News that there is up to $1,000,000 in damage to the building.
