LAYTON — The Layton Fire Department is investigating a "suspicious" fire involving a home, camper and several vehicles near Kay's Creek Trailhead early Sunday, according to Layton Fire Chief Jason Cook.
About 1:30 a.m., dispatch received three 911 calls reporting a brush fire near 2220 N. 1495 E. Hill Air Force Base and Layton fire responded. Upon arrival, fire crews found a home and multiple vehicles in the driveway engulfed in flames, along with surrounding vegetation prompting additional units to be sent.
