The fire was contained in the garage, preventing further spread of the flames to the structure of the home. The interior of the home, however, suffered damage from the smoke. Lehi Fire said that the damage was minimal.

The cause of the fire was found by authorities to be a fryer that was left unattended in the garage. Lehi Police, along with units from the American Fork Fire Department and Lone Peak Fire Department, also responded to the call.

Lehi Fire also told ABC4.com that the American Red Cross is going to provide support to the family as a result of the fire.
