Over the weekend, crews battled a wildfire near Mile 91 of the Parks Highway. According to the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center, a private aircraft discovered the fire on Saturday afternoon. Local crews as well as firefighters with the Division of Forestry responded. Initial efforts were slowed by the fact that the fire is more than a mile from the highway, limiting which vehicles could get to the blaze.
Estimates for the fire topped out at 40 acres. By Sunday morning, crews had laid a hose around sixty percent of the fire’s perimeter, and anticipated having full containment by the end of the shift.
