"Mayday" Called in Utah Restaurant Fire

(AP) WEST JORDAN, Utah - Six firefighters were endangered, but four others came to their rescue inside a restaurant that was destroyed in a three-alarm fire in West Jordan.

West Jordan Fire Battalion Chief Reed Scharman says 75 firefighters from West Jordan, Midvale, South Jordan, Sandy, Murray and the Unified Fire Authority battled the fire, but Jim's Family Restaurant was a total loss.

Scharman says that for a moment, it became a "May Day" situation when a portion of the roof collapsed. But he says there were no treatable injuries after all.

Investigators think the blaze started before midnight in the attic, but the cause remains under investigation.

Time to run my first published article again: CHARGED LINES by Pete Dawson "ONLY A VOLUNTEER ?" Remember the last time you heard someone say " They can't ask us do that. After all, this is only a volunteer fire department." Well it didn't cut it...
