(Salt Lake City-AP) -- Salt Lake City firefighters say it was a duck that caused a fire in the Sugar House neighborhood over the weekend.
The duck died when it flew into a power line. The collision caused a power surge that ignited a swimming pool chlorine pump.
They had to evacuate the 24-hour fitness center to deal with the fire Saturday. A hazardous materials crew determined that only a harmless amount of chlorine had spilled.
