Firefighters battled the Perry Fire, a wildfire that ignited Thursday evening near Sardine Canyon on US-89/91 close to Mantua Reservoir — part of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.

The blaze burned about 1.5 acres of timber with no structures damaged as two engines, a five-person squad, a helicopter, and a 20-person crew assisted in the efforts.

New fire restrictions began on Aug.8 in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache and Ashley national forests to reduce fire risks amid worsening drought.

The orders ban open flames and limit smoking outside designated fire pits until Oct.9 in one forest and Oct.31 in the other — while firefighters work to control nearby wildfires.
