West Jordan fire Capt. Gary Whatcott said a fire was burning in the fireplace when the owners of the house smelled smoke about 7 p.m. and went outside to see what was wrong. They saw flames and reported the fire from a neighbor's house.Strong winds hindered firefighters, Whatcott said, "But there was no structural damage to the lower part of the building or to contents, other than water damage."
