(KSL News) -- The Unified Fire Authority says a faulty fireplace may have started the fire at some Alta condos.

The fire burned through the Hellgate condos near the Alta ski resort last weekend. All 55 residents got out, but there's little left.

Fire investigators say they're still working on a definite cause, but the fire is not suspicious.

Heavy snow and strong winds made it hard for crews to fight.
