Jarvis Creek Fire Update 8 PM Friday
At 8 PM this evening, Delta Forestry reports that the fire is still in the 400 acre size range, but more precise estimates should be available late Friday evening. There is some risk to structures tomorrow.
There are now three crews on the fire, and one crew and two engines have been sent to fight a 2-3 acre fire in the Tenderfoot area that started with a power line break.
Fire weather tomorrow is again expected to be extreme, with gusts 30 to 40 mph with a relative humidity of less than 30%. Winds are expected to remain high through Sunday, with a chance of rain on Tuesday.
The Fairbanks Daily News Miner reported that a possible propane tank explosion may have been the ignition source for the fire.
Two engines from Copper River, and four Delta area volunteer fire department engines remain on the fire, along with two dozers.
A fire reported on Berm Road was reported under control, and a grass fire on the Ag Project is also now under control.
