| episode_narrative | In mid June, high pressure extending across the Interior and Southwest Alaska caused dangerous fire weather conditions. Fuels were already dry from a low snowpack, and the combination of dry conditions with winds caused by a trough in the Gulf of Alaska allowed human ignited fires to quickly escalate. A number of structures in Southcentral Alaska were burned, the communities of Willow and Soldotna evacuated, and the highways were closed intermittently while crews fought the fires. ||This pattern was followed by a period of dry lightning across the Interior and Southwest Alaska, which ignited many additional fires. Smoke from these fires pooled in Southwest Alaska, and several communities evacuated due to health concerns. |
| event_narrative | A human-ignited wildfire rapidly grew out of control near the community of Willow, Alaska. Gusty northeast winds and low RHs caused the fire to expand very quickly, threatening structures and causing immediate evacuation. The highest loss of structures occurred during the first few days following the fire, when northerly wind flow pushed the fire toward the most densely populated area. 55 structures were lost, 44 were damaged, and 800 people evacuated. |
