Tanker 540 drops a load of retardant on the Elmore Fire on Thursday, June 23, 2022. The fire in East Anchorage was responded to by Alaska Division of Forestry, JBER and Anchorage fire departments.
The quick-moving fire was reported Thursday afternoon in a wooded area near Elmore and Dowling roads. Dozens of Anchorage Fire Department firefighters worked with the Alaska Division of Forestry and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson crews on containment, laying fire retardant around the head of the fire and using helicopters to drop water on the flames.
An Alaska Division of Forestry firefighter reaches for a firehose as he wades through a stream on the Elmore Fire on Thursday, June 23, 2022, in East Anchorage. AFD Assistant Fire Chief Alex Boyd said the fire came within 300 feet of the roadway, but there has been no damage to infrastructure or buildings. A nearby power substation and natural gas pressure relief valve were “of concern,” Boyd said, but the fire never got close enough to threaten them.
