Fire crews and the Sheriff's Office are hopeful that evacuees should be allowed back in their homes sometime this afternoon.  Prior to allowing residents back into their homes, crews will be clearing potential fire hazards from within a 200-foot perimeter around each structure.  They will be on hand while power lines are recharged to ensure sparks don't ignite.  

Lefthand Canyon between U.S. 36 and James Canyon remains closed for fire crews to be able to move equipment through the area.  Residents will need to provide identification and proof of residency in that area when returning to their homes.

A heavy tanker is in the air helping fight the fire.  A helicopter, capable of carrying 1,000 gallons of water, should be in the air soon for additional support.
