A spliced air-compressor power cord in a garage is suspected to have ignited a fire, reported at 10:50 a.m. Monday, that caused about $100,000 in damages to this West Point home. A 30-year-old son of the homeowners suffered from smoke inhalation when he tried to keep the fire from spreading with water from a garden hose. The man was taken by helicopter to the University of Utah Medical Center for treatment and is reported to be stable, according to a news release from the North Davis Fire District. Officials believe a full tank of fuel in a truck in the garage contributed to the difficulty of fighting the fire, which was doused at 11:35 a.m. Assisting in the effort were the Clinton, Syracuse and Sunset fire departments.
