Wasatch Fire District crews responded around 6 p.m. Saturday, July 12, to the two-acre fire east of Deer Creek Reservoir.
Wasatch Fire Chief Eric Hales said firefighters initially worked to protect two homes that were threatened by the flames. The fire also spread to a stand of cottonwood trees.
Crews from the U.S. Forest Service and Utah Forestry, Fire and State Lands assisted at the scene.
Hales said as of Monday morning, the fire was 100% contained. He said personnel from the county and the forest service were still working to remove the trees and suppress any remains of the fire.
Hales said crews will monitor the site over the next few days.
No structures were damaged except a tree fort. The fire was caused by a mechanical issue with a four-wheeler.
No one was hurt in the fire.
