(KSL News) Crews are back at a Draper townhouse this morning looking for hot spots following a fire there.

They were called back to the home around 5:00 this morning when the fire rekindled. It originally started last night.

Investigators don't know how the fire started, but the townhome is under construction.

Naturally, the townhome is close to other houses, so crews quickly surrounded it using two fire engine ladders to keep it from spreading.

Officials say they're seeing more fires in places like Draper, where many new homes are popping up quickly.

Joe Wilkin, Firefighter Paramedic, UFA: "We do deal with that a little more because more people on less land. But they're within code, so there's nothing we can do about that."

No one was inside when the fire started and no firefighters were injured.
