PERRY, Utah — Thanks to the quick actions of a Box Elder County Fire Warden, a grass fire at the mouth of Perry Canyon Saturday night was extinguished quickly.
But the Brigham City Fire Department, which helped extinguish the grass fire near Perry, says it was set intentionally and they are asking for the public’s help.
The Brigham City Fire Department said their dispatch got a call at about 10:23 p.m. on Saturday from someone reporting that a vehicle had driven up to the mouth of Perry Canyon, set off fireworks, and then left the area.
