Several tents burned, the Anchorage Fire Department said.
Anchorage firefighters responded to a fire in a homeless camp in the Chester Creek greenbelt on Sunday.
Firefighters responded just after 4 p.m. to the greenbelt between the Anchorage Football Stadium and the Chester Creek trail, said Deputy Chief Alex Boyd. Seven emergency crews responded. Firefighters brought the flames under control in about 15 minutes, Boyd said. Robert Hoffman, who lives in the area, said he heard a loud rushing noise in the afternoon, got outside of his tent and saw the flames. He and his girlfriend evacuated from the area, he said.
An Anchorage Fire Department captain does a primary search for potential victims at a homeless camp fire where several tents were engulfed in flames near Chester Creek on Sunday, Sept. 24, 2023. “As we approach this time of year and stuff gets drier, we have the possibility of the spread throughout the forest. There’s a lot of encampments throughout this greenbelt that we come to quite often,” Novinska said.
