ST. MARY’S, Alaska - The East Fork Fire has grown to approximately 2,000 acres according to the Bureau of Land Management’s Alaska Fire Service. The fire is located approximately 25 miles north of the village of St. Mary’s along the Yukon River and is slowly nearing a cabin and several Alaska Native allotments according to a fire service spokesperson.
“In Alaska, because we have a lot of areas that are pretty remote that we can manage some of these fires as, as more of a resource to help with the regeneration of the ecological system,” Ipsen said. “Fire has been in Alaska before humans and Alaska is actually a fire dependent ecosystem. So sometimes, if it’s not threatening any values nearby, we can let it function its natural ecological role.”
“We’re we are starting to get into the time of the season where we will have more lightning caused fires.” Ipsen said. “They tend to be in more remote areas where we can manage them for resource values, for resource benefits, but certainly we will protect people, firefighters, and if it gets to the point where it’s threatening some valuable sites, yes, we will put people in there as long as we can safely do so.
