VIDEO: Three months have passed and the investigation continues into the cause of the Martin Luther King Jr. wildfire which broke out July 2 off Elmore and Dowling roads in South Anchorage.
The Anchorage Fire Department says it was a human-caused fire but the exact cause is "undetermined" at this point. While AFD says the cause is still not clear, it has provided additional details into how that fire was fought, which helped keep homes from burning in the immediate area as well as Stuckagain Heights and the Anchorage Hillside.
AFD credits a coordinated response and the hard work of about 100 Anchorage firefighters, and some from other agencies, for quickly gaining control of the fire. AFD also highlights the air attack as a big factor in keeping the fire from spreading to homes.
AFD radio communications the day of the fire indicate flames were close to jumping over Elmore Road and potentially into Stuckagain Heights, where dozens of homes are located.
