Wildfire slows on Kenai Peninsula with rain aid
Cooler temperatures and light rain slowed the Pothole Lake Fire on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula but containment remained uncertain. The week-old blaze had burned about 8,000 acres, with smoke visible from Anchorage 60 miles away. The Sterling Highway reopened as evacuations affected over 200 campers and several Kenai refuge campgrounds were ordered closed.
