The pieces were collected as evidence as authorities continued to search for the vehicle believed to be responsible.

“It was a catalytic converter that sparked a few separate fires along I-80 that eventually grew together to the main portion of the fire,” said Sierra Hellstrom, a spokesperson for the Northern Utah Interagency Fire Management Team.

Witnesses provided fire investigators with a vehicle description, Hellstrom said. The Utah Highway Patrol is assisting with locating it.

The Parleys Canyon Fire has torched hundreds of acres and forced the evacuation of thousands.
