They called me on Sat phone from the cabin 2 weeks ago and said they were all set up as it got closer. Even asked me if there was any work I wanted done around the place : ) . Nothing since but fire map shows it has grown and burned on 3 sides of my cabin slough and a narrow band along the river bottom shows unburned. Looks like line camps are JUST inside that zone. Sent an email asking for updates yesterday so maybe know more soon

Gary, Road (Richarson Hwy) is repaired to the extent that there is one-lane traffic/pilot car now. Work continues. Yes, there are 9 fires in that general area, being managed as a "complex." There are a couple of larger fires in the Good Pasture itself. See "Middle Tanana Complex" in the situation reports for Alaska Interagency Coordination Center. Pete

Family has a cabin right in the area of the Pike creek fire kinda wondering if it survived We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve

Family has a cabin right in the area of the Pike creek fire kinda wondering if it survived Todd, Sometimes they know or can find out from the ff's that were on the ground there or recon/mapping flights. It's worth a try. Helps if you have a legal description or grid coordinates. And it may take a day or two to track down the info. They have a Joint Information Center (JIC) set up at AFS at Ft. Wainwright. Call the JIC at 907-356-5511. If they are less than helpful, get back to me and I will "shake the bushes" on your behalf. I had surgery earlier this week; I'm not working. But I know some people! Pete

The oldest fire t-shirt in my collection is circa 1977. Apparently before that, they weren't really a "thing!" Then again, we were whupping up on dangerous flames while wearing dungarees! I'm not sure where it is now, but I did have an old fire shirt that was orange instead of yellow. Last time I tried it on, it had "shrunk" quite a bit!
