Jarvis Creek Fire Contained, Others Burning West of Delta

The Jarvis Creek Fire is 100% contained as of Tuesday night. An infared flight is scheduled for tomorrow morning to look for potentially dangerous hot spots. Delta Forestry is releasing some of the crews, but keeping an eye on the weather, because lightning starts are the next two days.

The Little Delta River fire – approximately 35 miles west of Delta Junction -- is now over 11,000 acres in size. The fire is being monitored but not attacked. The Parks Highway fire is over 50,000 acres at this time, with over 500 people working the blaze.

The smoke in Delta is partially due to the Parks Highway Fire and the Little Delta Fire.

This will be the last fire update until there is significant new information.
