'We did find some firework debris on the ground; we found leftover ground flowers,' said Don Buckley, Draper fire marshal.
One area of concern is Draper, where fireworks ignited two small fires along the Porter Rockwell Trail on Tuesday.
The Porter Rockwell Trail is one area firefighters are concerned about right now; the Corner Canyon area is another. A record-breaking snow year has led to a heavy fuel load, and that fuel load is quickly drying out. He said even the areas that are still green are deceivingly dry and will burn quickly in a fire, as was seen along the Porter Rockwell Trail this week.
