In a post from Weber Fire District, units from Weber Fire, Ogden City Fire and Hill Air Force Base Fire responded to a report of a fast-moving grass fire in Prevedel Park around 7:45 p.m. Friday.
Fire officials say thick, black smoke was visible from a distance. When crews arrived, they found a fast-moving fire that had trapped four campers. Firefighters were able to quickly split resources to evacuate the campers and knock down the fire.
The fire was contained to five acres in size. Weber Fire District says there were no injuries and no structures damaged. A preliminary investigation shows the fire was accidentally ignited by a campfire that spread into surrounding cotton debris.
Weber Fire says Prevedel Park is closed for safety concerns.
