ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Dozens of blazes continue to burn throughout Alaska Saturday as fire teams fight to contain the bigger forest fires from damaging property.
The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center reported 46 active fires Saturday morning.
The AIC reports that a 34,000-acre fire 15 miles northwest of Fairbanks is 8 percent contained. Winds spread the fire toward the Goodpaster River, where there are homes and cabins. Firefighters from Oregon took command Saturday.
Another fire northwest of Fairbanks, in Hastings, grew to more than 7,000 acres. The fire was fueled by strong winds, and grew toward Washington Creek west of Elliott Highway. Firefighters are being assisted by airplanes. .
