Alaska Wildfire Spurs Large Firefighting Deployment
About 1 000 firefighters including many from out of state joined 300 colleagues on the Alaska firelines north of Anchorage to battle a spreading blaze. Governor Knowles said President Clinton called to discuss a possible federal disaster declaration as the fire, started near 50 kilometers north of the city, had consumed hundreds of homes and forced about 1 800 evacuations with property damage around 40 million dollars. Fire crews reported progress as winds shifted and containment areas formed along the Parks Highway.
