On Tuesday evening, lightning strikes started two fires in the area of Goose Creek near Mile 95 of the Parks Highway. Incident Command spokesperson Celeste Prescott says that the Division of Forestry dispatched two tankers and a helicopter to combat the fires. She says a total of at least nine new starts due to lightning had been reported by 8:00 pm on Tuesday.
As of 8:00 pm, Prescott says the aircraft reported that they were returning from the area, which she says could indicate that the fires have been significantly slowed.
Prescott says a hotshot crew on loan from the Sockeye Fire efforts is on the way to the Montana Creek fires to attempt to contain and secure the area.
