Just over a week after the Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires forced Woodland Hills and Elk Ridge residents from their homes, officials announced Friday evening they’d be able to return home Saturday morning.
Kim Osborn, a spokeswoman stationed at the Pole Creek fire, said residents could go home at 9 a.m. Residents will be on pre-evacuation notice, according to a news release from Utah County officials.
“They felt secure enough (with their progress on the fire) to let people back in,” Osborn said about the decision.
The Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires have been burning since Sept.
