TREMONTON, Utah — Fire crews responded to a grass fire in Tremonton that was caused by a smoking operation for a beekeeping facility Thursday afternoon.
Upon arrival near 11,000 North and 4400 West in Tremonton, they found a fast-moving, wind-driven fire burning through heavy grass and old tires. Additional personnel from Box Elder County Fire, Garland Fire and Central Box Elder Fire District responded.
