Wildfires Flare Up South of Fairbanks

A change in the weather is helping slow progress of wildfires south of Fairbanks.  Today’s cool, wet, calmer conditions followed several days of hot windy weather that saw four wildfires flare up from remnants of 2009 blazes. Three of the fires in the Wood River region are in limited management zones and being allowed to burn, while the fourth is being fought.
