I was in Kasilof yesterday and the smoke was burning the eyes and lungs. This morning I woke with a slight headache and sinus pressure.
Hope this is not what our summer is going to be like. We have been fairly clear here in Nikiski so we are staying here for the Holiday. Fire at 45,000 plus acres and there is talk that planes are coming to start knocking it down. It probably needs to burn to clean up the forest but the people and wild life will suffer. Moose calves are being dropped right now, saw several already, not very steady on their feet. The fire went from 0 to 45,000 acres in about 3 days, approx. 60+ square miles, not sure if wildlife could escape this. Any one coming down for the next few days may want to check the conditions first.
