A fire that burned 13 acres in East Anchorage last week is now 100% contained and controlled, according to the Alaska Division of Forestry. But there’s still work to do in the wooded area near Campbell Park.
On Monday, a 20-person hotshot crew and three Division of Forestry firefighters continued mopping up and checking that logs and stumps had cooled. They also searched the surrounding area to make sure there were no small fires nearby.
“It was a good effort by both the state and the city firefighters to come together and stop it,” McMillan said. “There were no injuries reported, so it was a successful operation all the way around.”The weather forecast “We don’t expect high winds, but the warm temperatures are always a concern when people are recreating,” McMillan said.
While a burn ban for Anchorage was lifted weeks ago, open fires on the ground, including campfires and burn pits,Anchorage residents can use outdoor fireplaces as long as they have a screen on top, have legs that lift them off the ground and are 15 feet away from anything that could catch on fire. Electric, gas and charcoal barbecue grills are also allowed.
