OGDEN — Standard-Examiner employees evacuated their newsroom and offices after a fire, fire officials say.
At 11:56 a.m., fire crews were dispatched to 332 Standard Way on reports of a structure fire. Occupants of the building had already evacuated after the fire alarm system notified them of the fire, Ogden City Fire Department reported. The sprinklers helped firefighters contain the fire.
The fire began in the recyling room, causing some damage officials said. Smoke damaged the entire north bay of the building. Damages were estimated at about $15,000.
