A firefighter was injured Wednesday afternoon during a second-alarm fire at a West Jordan industrial business, according to a September 23 report by Gephardt Daily.

Firefighters were called to 9583 S. Wells Circle at 2:40 p.m. and observed flames coming from a bay door.

West Jordan Fire Battalion Chief Blair Marshall stated that firefighters extinguished the blaze relatively quickly, containing the fire to one unit of a multi-unit concrete building.

During the operation, an unknown chemical splashed one firefighter. That individual was taken to a local hospital for treatment, though their condition was not revealed.

Crews remained at the scene to contain hazardous materials related to chemicals used by the business. Marshall said the county health department would manage the cleanup.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
