Evacuation order lifted in northern Utah

By WTOP Staff

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — People are being allowed to return to about 200 homes in Utah that were threatened by a brush fire.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports that evacuation orders were lifted last night for the Rockport Estates subdivision outside the resort town of Park City.

Fire crews are using bulldozers to build a line around the 120-acre fire. Officials don’t know what caused it.

A wildfire in the same area burned seven houses last August.
