Combating the Clear Fire: placement and response from the ground
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - With the Clear Fire continuing to grow and threaten communities in the interior, the battle against the blaze has grown in intensity as well. Smoke has grounded much of the aerial support, yet the teams on the ground still fight the flames.
One benefit of the containment is that efforts can be focused on the areas where the fire is more active. 22 miles of dozer line on the southeast end of the fire remain as the current defense for preventing fire from spreading further in the southeast area, yet plans are in place to stretch the dozer line all the way to the Parks Highway.
