The incident commander on the East Fork Fire says the “biggest challenge we’re looking at right now is the fire situation around the state and starting to feel pressure on the number of resources that are available.'
Approximately 145 people from St. Mary’s, Pitkas Point, Mountain Village, and Pilot Station have flown to Bethel where they are being housed at the National Guard Armory and Gladys Jung Elementary School. The Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation is organizing the flights and housing. On Saturday, eight Red Cross volunteers arrived in Bethel to assist.
Incident Commander Peter Butteri said in a video issued by the BLM on Saturday that his crew would issue an evacuation notice if the fire jumped across control lines. In another video issued Sunday, Butteri said firefighters continue working on a containment line to protect St. Mary’s, Pitkas Point, Mountain Village, and Pilot Station.
The number of firefighters assigned to the fire has grown to 201, and more firefighters from the lower 48 are expected to arrive Sunday.
