SYRACUSE, Utah — Crews from several agencies responded to a house fire in Syracuse Saturday afternoon.

The fire in the 2300 South block of Bluff Road was originally dispatched as a garage fire but by the time Syracuse firefighters arrived, it had extended to the home and flames were shooting out of the roof.

North Davis, Layton and Hill Air Force Base fire departments were also called to help knock down the fire.

It quickly worsened though and crews went into a defensive mode and put water on the fire from an aerial apparatus.

One person suffered burns and was transported to a hospital.
