Managers of the Clear Fire response aren’t saying much about structures destroyed or damaged by a wind-driven advance of the wildfire Wednesday evening.
Flames moved north clipping the Kobe Road area, off the Parks Highway, south of the Interior Alaska communities of Anderson and Clear.
Some residents had not heeded the evacuation order, complicating work for firefighters, said Duane Van Woert, operations section chief for the fire. “Its still hot,” said Lawson. “There’s still trees coming down, so we’re going to wait until its safe to put firefighters in there and then we’ll go out and evaluate what the fire area looks like, and how many of those structures were burned.”
The same portion of the fire that advanced so violently late Wednesday was active again Thursday, according to fire behavior analyst Forrest Ownbey.Ownbey said conditions are forecast to continue warm and dry, but relative humidity is predicted to rise over the weekend, bringing increased chance of thunderstorms with erratic winds.
