A quick heads up tonight...the Parks Highway north of Anchorage (to Fairbanks) is CLOSED at mile 71 to mile 77 due to a wildfire. It has burned 500 acres and possibly up to 1,000 acres. It jumped the highway.
If you're planning to head from Anchorage to Fairbanks tomorrow (Monday, June 15), maybe rethink that plan.
If you're on facebook, keep up-to-date here
Matanuska-Susitna Borough facebook page.
You can also check in with the Alaska State Troopers.
I expect this might put a crunch on the RV parks in the area too as many residents are having to evacuate.
