Boundary Fire
The Boundary Fire, located about 20 miles Northeast of Fairbanks,
is currently being managed by the Rocky Mountain Type I Incident
Management Team. The lightning-caused fire was first detected
on June 13. An atypical dry, hot Northeast wind, coupled with
extreme drought conditions led to rapid expansion of this fire.
