Shortly after 4:30 p.m. Sunday, dispatchers received a call reporting a structure fire at 4637 N. Santa Fe Trail in Enoch. Multiple fire crews responded to the scene with their equipment, including three fire engines, one ladder truck and one heavy rescue truck.

“The fire was contained to the garage, but there was smoke damage throughout the home,” Cedar City Fire Chief Mike Phillips said.

As seen from the street, the interior of the garage and the items stored inside appeared to be heavily damaged. It did not appear that any vehicles had been parked inside the garage at the time of the fire.

No injuries were reported. Although the cause was still under investigation at the time this report was first published, Phillips told Cedar City News on Tuesday evening that the fire is believed to have been started by small children.

Update June 17, 11:15 a.m. to include suspected cause.
