Gearing up for Alaska’s wildfire season

Funny River fire rages in the Kenai Keys area of the Kenai Peninsula May 25, 2014Fire season has already started. The mild winter and lack of snow in Southcentral Alaska has firefighters nervous about the tinder dry conditions in and around the state’s largest urban center. Interior Alaska is also an area of high fire danger this spring. Green up is early, but how much would new growth slow a big burn?
