Currant Creek #Wildfire update: The NPS fire observers that had been on site since July 25 were demobilized earlier today.
 
However, Alaska DNR- Division of Forestry (DOF) fire managers will continue to conduct periodic aerial surveys to monitor fire activity and map any changes to the perimeter. 

It continues to burn in a mosaic pattern that produces patches of burned and unburned vegetation. This mosaic will help create high quality habitat for wildlife in coming years. Fire in the boreal forest is a natural process and nature’s way of renewing and revitalizing the landscape. 

As always, more information is available at:http://www.nps.gov/lacl/parkmgmt/currentfireinfo.htm
