Wednesday was another busy day for firefighters in the Interior, as more lightning-caused wildfires were detected. Some are in remote locations and being allowed to burn, but several are being actively fought.
The 187-acre Champion Fire is burning on Table Mountain in the White Mountain National Recreational Area.
“And then of course the Parks Highway on the other side, Anderson, Clear, and the Space Force radar station,” he said. “Those lower layers or duff are just too damp to carry a fire and give it the energy to grow,” he said. The 75-acre Deep Creek Fire was spotted Tuesday by a pilot headed to the 25-acre McCoy Creek Fire, 10 miles to the southwest. Both wildfires are located along the Salcha River.
“We still have firefighters working on that fire and working on structure protection,” she said. “But a lot of the aviation resources did go and respond to the close-by Deep Creek Fire.”
