Dry and windy conditions have created a dangerous risk for wildfires in Alaska and state officials are warning Kenai Peninsula and Kodiak Island residents.
The department said debris burns, such as those that many private residents tend to in their backyards, are highly susceptible to “escaping and spreading from their intended area.”
“We request the public to check previous areas of burned debris piles for ‘holdovers,’ to ensure no heat remains,”. “Fire can continue to burn underground through duff layers and roots systems for months, only to resurface, and spark a wildfire.” Department officials added smaller campfires less than three feet in diameter are still allowed, but must be burning in an area with a fuel break and water nearby, as well as given complete attention to until fully put out.
