Upon arrival, UFA crews saw heavy smoke and fire coming out of the garage. They were able to put out the fire before it reached the house, though there was some smoke damage inside.

The main door to the garage stopped the fire from spreading to the rest of the house, officials say. A car and motorcycle parked in the structure were destroyed in the fire.

No injuries were reported as nobody was home when the fire started, Bird said.

The Wasatch Boulevard is now open for one-way traffic, officials say.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
