Alaska fire 60 percent contained near Anchorage
A week-old wildfire about 50 miles north of Anchorage reached 60 percent containment as cool damp weather persisted. It burned over 37,000 acres, damaged or destroyed more than 360 buildings, and forced at least 1,800 evacuations with cost near $10 million. Firefighters, 1,300 strong, logged 12-hour shifts aided by aircraft and bulldozers as officials predicted full containment soon but cautioned full clearance would take weeks. James Lee Witt led federal inspectors and SBA set up loan aid for residents.
