SALT LAKE CITY — A large plume of smoke could be seen in the Poplar Grove neighborhood Tuesday just before 12:30 p.m.

The fire appeared to be burning near 390 S. Orange Street. Salt Lake City fire crews said the fire was mostly on the exterior of a commercial building and asked the public to avoid Orange Street as they battled the blaze.

A separate fire also occurred in the same area on May 19 at 389 S. Orange Street at the METech Recycling building, according to a past Salt Lake City Fire Department news release and KSL's past report. That 2025 fire started in an exterior storage area.
