A small wildfire was reported near Wrangell on Friday night
A small wildfire was reported near Sandy Beach, about four miles from Wrangell, on Friday night. As of Saturday the state had not said what caused it, whether it was contained, or whether it threatened any homes.
The state's traveler information service logged the fire at 8:29 pm Friday and last updated the entry Saturday around noon, listing it at zero acres. That service tracks fires alongside road conditions, but the details, including cause, containment and any evacuation, come from state fire and forestry agencies rather than the traffic feed, and none had been posted.
Residents can check the status for a specific address on the statewide evacuation map the Division of Forestry and Fire Protection keeps at akfireinfo.com.
