Alaska is on fire: link to active locations

[Larry Bartlett]

My family and I just got off a remote Interior river section. Extreme fire dangers, dense smoke from nearby fires and those active all over the state has been the June/july norm so far this season. Thought you guys would want a link to monitor your hunting area threats.

Thanks. I'll be heading there in 4 weeks.

Thanks for posting this up Larry. Apparently we’ve had about 2.5 million acres burn so far this season, and we’re on pace to break our record for most acreage in known history.

Southcentral and the copper river valley are doing pretty good, smoke wise. Just about everywhere else is just smoke.

Over 13,000 lightening strikes today. I think the majority was wet cells as opposed to dry ones.

Here is a similar fire map for the Yukon Territory: https://yukon.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=b15654d170224c19aa1b8e29a6c57dc3

Fire is good. I hope people are able to protect any property if they live or own cabins in affected areas, but small fires now means less catastrophic fires next year, or 5 years from now. Most of south-central is supposed to get decent rain in the next 10 days to put some of these out
