US-6 through Spanish Fork Canyon was reopened on Thursday morning and some residents were allowed to return to their homes as firefighters continued to make progress against the Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires.
Highway 6 had been closed to traffic for much of the past week because of the Pole Creek fire, which has burned 88.420 acres and is 28 percent contained.
Residents in the Eagle Landing Development off US-89, forced from their homes by the Bald Mountain fire, were allowed to return on Wednesday, although they remain under a pre-evacuation alert and may be ordered to leave again.
