The danger surrounding the Willard Peak Fire in North Ogden died down significantly on Thursday, although crews are still working on the fire that is currently 577 acres and 14% contained.

Despite the success in mostly extinguishing the flames, evacuations will remain in effect through Thursday night for those living east of 1050 East and north of 2850 North, according to Weber County. Officials expect evacuation orders to be lifted by 10 p.m. if conditions remain favorable. Though they caution that residents may need to prepare to leave again if evacuation orders are lifted.

The orders are still in place, although many residents have been seen in their homes in the affected areas.
