OGDEN — Crews from the Ogden City Fire Department and North View Fire District were called to the 800 block of 1100 North Saturday afternoon to contain a fire affecting two Ogden homes.
According to a release from Ogden City Fire, crews were dispatched to the location at approximately 4:41 p.m. amid reports of a structure fire. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered smoke and flames coming from a single-family home and spreading into another. Extra resources were immediately requested to assist with suppression efforts at both homes.
