SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Evacuation orders in two Utah counties have been lifted for homes threatened by wildfires.
The evacuations were lifted Friday night for almost 200 homes near Park City in Summit County and Saturday morning for some 10 homes around Springville in Utah County.
Authorities say the 70-acre fire near Springville was caused early Saturday by two teenagers playing with fireworks, and evacuees were allowed to return to their homes after the blaze burned uphill away from them.
They say the 120-acre fire that prompted evacuations Friday in the Rockport Estates subdivision outside Park City also was human caused and is under investigation.
The community is the same area where a wildfire burned seven houses last August.
Officials urge the public to be cautious because of hazardous fire conditions across Utah.
