Leaf Lake fire under investigation

A 25-acre wildfire along the Kink River is the latest indication that the state’s forest fire season is getting a head start. Norm MacDonald, an fire management officer with the state division of forestry in Palmer, says the fire, reported late Saturday, is about 10 percent contained as of Monday morning.
“It’s human caused. It is still under investigation exactly how, but it is definitely a human caused fire.”
The Leaf Lake fire is inaccessible by road, MacDonald says. T
