As of 10 AM this morning, the Jefferson County Sheriff has posted that all evacuation levels on the Willow Creek Fire have been removed. Campers are free to return to the Pelton Park Campground. Visitors and residents using roads in the fire area should drive slowly and watch for fire traffic in the area. Crews will continue looking for hotspots, securing the line in the canyon and mopping up for the next several days.
