Managers of the Sockeye Fire near Willow plan to begin letting residents back into the evacuation area today.
At 10 this morning, the evacuation zone will be reduced to the fire perimeter line, controlled by nine security checkpoints. Homeowners who have lost homes will be let into the fire zone, starting at 11.
The evacuation is set to end entirely on Saturday but security checkpoints will remain in place through the weekend.
On the Parks Highway, traffic will be controlled between mileposts 71 and 78 until Monday. At least 26 homes were destroyed in the 7,000-acre blaze. Firefighters are still working in the area to put out hotspots.
