SALT LAKE CITY — A human-caused fire burned dozens of acres on Stansbury Island on Friday.

The Tabby Three Fire is now 100% contained after burning nearly 40 acres before it was brought under control.

No structures were threatened and no injuries were reported.

Fire officials said the fire was sparked by someone using steel bullets for target practice, which is illegal in that area. There is no person of interest that authorities are focused on at this time.

Crews will return to the fire site in the morning to see if there are any flare ups.
