Heavy snow season could lead to an advanced fire season, and officials urge residents to be fire aware.
Big snow season could mean big fire danger, AFD leaders sayANCHORAGE, Alaska - Anchorage Fire Department leaders say this season’s near all-time record breaking snow year could mean a more dangerous fire season.
Kohler said heavy snowfall brings down weakened trees and adds limbs to the forest floor. As they dry out, they pose certain risk for wildfires. Kohler said the bottom line is be conscientious. If you see smoke, call 9-1-1 immediately. It’s important to be fire wise, especially in areas like Hillside, Eagle River drainage and parts of Midtown.
Another thing to be aware of is the spruce bark beetle, which has been a problem since the early 1990s. Residents with dead trees from spruce bark beetle damage may want to cut down the tree for beautification purposes. Those that do need to properly dispose of the tree and limbs.
