Officials said the situation in the Kobe Ag subdivision became severe enough to necessitate evacuations for crews to keep them safe.
“Firefighters working to protect structures on the west side of Kobe Ag had to evacuate due to extreme fire behavior and life-threatening conditions,” officials wrote. “They remained near Rochester Way, working to protect structures where possible.”
Officials said that several aircraft were requested to help fight the fire, and overnight crews worked to attack spot fires in efforts to keep the blaze from crossing the Nenana River.on the state Division of Forestry’s Facebook page, Operations Section Chief Trainee Josh Riepe said winds shifted Wednesday night and pushed the fire further eastward.
“We did experience some significate weather events that increased fire activity,” Riepe said. “... The crews had to disengage due to safety concerns and had to pull back into designated safety zones and let the fire pass.” Riepe said all efforts Thursday will be focused in the subdivision to reestablish control of the fire.
