Alaska Central Complex Fire 2004
Home
|
|
The red and black lines outline the fires.
The fires came INTO Central and surrounded our cabin completely, came as close as 60’ |
|
The Steese Highway looks like this between Central and Circle, appr. 30 miles. |
 |
It took a 30mi wind and about 4 hours and pretty much everything standing on 100 square miles was gone |
|
The heat melted the perma frost and mudslides followed. |
|
It burned hot from top to ground. |
|
Half of our ridge went up in smoke. |
 |
Still burning, even now after quite some rain and snow. |
 |
Our 2mi driveway. |
 |
Never leave home without a chain saw.
And bring some more gas and bar oil. |
 |
The view sure is nice and our house can be seen now from the highway. |
 |
Help is on the way. |
