Mat-Su Borough and Alaska Division of Forestry firefighters are currently fighting a wildfire in the Meadow Lakes area. On Wednesday afternoon, a grassfire between seven and ten acres in size spread into an area wooded with black spruce, according to borough spokeswoman Patty Sullivan.
The Division of Forestry has taken command of the firefighting effort, and air and ground resources have been deployed, including a tanker plane.
As of Wednesday evening, no evacuations or road closures have been reported, although a temporary flight restriction is in place, and authorities ask that general aviation aircraft avoid the area. A map of the fire’s location is available at KTNA.org.
