25-acre fire hits Delta Junction

A wildfire charred 25 acres in Delta Junction yesterday.
The Alaska Division of Forestry said state and local firefighters corralled the blaze, which raced through dry grass in breezy conditions Thursday afternoon.
The origin of the fire was a three-week-old burn pile.
Delta area fire prevention officer Gabe Pease-Madore said the property owner was on sight and tried to suppress the flames. He said the fire got away despite previously burned ground surrounding the pile. Smoke from the fire force
