Warm weather stokes old wildfire south of Fairbanks
FAIRBANKS — Evidently the Alaskafire season isn't over just yet.
The recent spell of warm weather has breathed life into a small
wildfire that was thought to be dead on military land 25 miles southof
Fairbanks.
The Dry Creek Fire, which was caused by lightning back on June 23, had
been dormant for the past several weeks but was reported to be burning
again following a surveillance flight by the Alaska Fire Service this
week.
"They started to see smoke and then they started to see fire," Alaska
Fire Service public affairs specialist Mel Slater said.
No fire activity was detected duringprevious surveillance flights, but
the fire had not been declared out, he said.
The fire was "crowning, torching and running," according to the daily
a situation report issued by the Alaska Fire Service on Wednesday. The
fire had grown by approximately100 acres to an estimated 520 acres.
The fire came back to life as a result of unseasonably warm weather in
the Interior the past week. High temperatures have been in the
mid-70s, about 10 degrees warmer than normal. Temperatures are
expected to cool slightly starting Friday when more clouds move into
the Tanana Valley, according to the National Weather Service. Even so,
temperatures should remain in the upper 60s to lower 70s with no rain
in the forecast.
The Dry Creek Fire is one of eight fires listed as active in Alaska
and the only one that is showing any fire activity, Slater said. The
remaining fires are all being monitored with surveillance flights on a
continuous basis, he said.
The fire is located in a remote area south of the Tanana River and
will be placed in monitor status becauseit is in a limited suppression
area and doesn't pose a threat, Slater said.
