Due to more accurate mapping, the Card Street fire has shrunk to 7,578 acres, said Alaska Interagency Coordination Center Public Information Officer Andrea Capps.
Capps said there are now 323 personnel actively working to subdue the fire, with more resources on the way. Incident Commander Bob Allbee, of Washington, will take over leading the fight today, she said. Capps said no further structures have been destroyed since 11 burned structures were reported. No injuries have been reported either, she said.
“They’re still are seeing active fire behavior,” Capps said. “We’re just going to have a lot of resources ready to respond.”
Capps said the main focuses for Friday will be continued “mop up” of Feuding Lane, Card Street and other areas of the Kenai Keys, as well as continuing to establish division lines.
