Fire officials say penalties are possible after sparks from a target shooting ricochet ignited a 50-acre wildfire near Snowbasin Ski Resort that threatened several mountain homes.
As of Monday morning, evacuations and some road closures had been lifted and firefighters continued to work on the fire, which started Saturday in the area of the Old Snowbasin Road and the Art Nord trailhead.
The blaze was 55% contained by Monday morning, said Jennifer Hansen, a Forest Service spokesperson. The top of Old Snowbasin Road and access to trails beyond will remain closed while fire crews are on the fire.

Smoke from the blaze added to the already poor Weber County air quality, which was projected to reach the red "unhealthy" zone Monday. The Utah Division of Air Quality said people with heart or respiratory conditions should reduce exertion and outdoor activity.

"Doug told me every nook and cranny of everything," Jared Dee Briggs told investigators in a video recording of his Dec. 15, 2006, interview with investigators.
KSL's investigative podcast series "Cold" obtained a copy of the video recorded at the Utah State Prison, which has not previously been made public.
Lovell had admitted in 1993 to killing Yost. As part of plea negotiations, he led South Ogden police to the place where he'd claimed to have killed and buried Yost along the Old Snowbasin Road. An intensive search of that area subsequently failed to turn up any sign of Yost's remains.
