In the last three days, the Alaska Division of Forestry and Fire Protection has reported 79 new fires in the state and has seen a boost of 12,000 additional acres burned.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska’s quiet fire season has taken a roaring turn for the worse.
In the last three days, the bureau has reported 79 new fires in the state and has seen a boost of 12,000 additional acres burned. Norm McDonald, deputy director of the Division of Forestry and Fire Protection, said the state currently has two crews that are still fighting fires in two Canadian provinces; British Columbia and Northwest Territories.
“That’s part of the national and international working agreements we have; we send resources to where the critical needs are, and when we need them in Alaska, we get them in return,” McDonald said.
