A man was critically injured during a Tuesday fire at a home near 1440 South and 500 East in Salt Lake City.

The 65-year-old man was taken to University Hospital with "pretty bad smoke inhalation," said fire department spokeswoman Audra Sorensen.

She said the man's dog didn't survive the incident.

Fire crews responded to the scene about 1:25 p.m. The blaze was put out in about 10 minutes, Sorensen said, adding that about 30 firefighters responded.

The fire was caused by a problem with electrical cords, said Sorensen, and has been ruled an accident.
