A fire was reported Sunday night in Anchor Point, according to the Bureau of Land Management Alaska Fire Service (AFS).
Firefighters and aircraft were working on a fire burning near North Fork Road, AFS wrote in a post on AK Fire Info. There were about 20 firefighters from multiple agencies and two helicopters with water buckets.
"The fire was reported at about 6:45 p.m. and was estimated at 6-7 acres and burning in spruce trees, grass and brush to the east of the intersection of Sandy Avenue and Whitney Street," AFS said. "The fire was reported as active on 100% of its perimeter with flame lengths 3 feet high."
AFS says the fire is burning about 1.5 miles east of the Sterling Highway between mileposts 164 and 165.
"The fire is burning off of a trail, making [access] difficult, but not impossible for some of the fire brush trucks and firefighters on all-terrain vehicles," AFS said. "The nearest structure is within a half-mile, however, it was not immediately threatened."
