A three-alarm fire in downtown Salt Lake City on August 12, 2025, injured one firefighter and affected several businesses. About 60 firefighters responded, but part of the building collapsed, forcing them to combat the blaze from outside. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and residents were advised to stay indoors with windows and doors closed. Roads were temporarily shut down, and people were asked to avoid the downtown area.
