Wildfire activity across Alaska remains at baseline minimums with the state holding at Preparedness Level 1. Firefighters are focusing on mop-up and suppression repair on the Mukluk Fire near Tok. No new major fire activity is threatening communities.
Key Fires
- Mukluk Fire — Burning near Tok, crews are excavating deeply buried smoldering heat near Midnight Sun Drive and repairing perimeter dozer lines to protect permafrost soils. The public is advised to stay out of burned areas, particularly north of Red Fox Drive, where weakened trees present falling hazards.
