Aggie Creek Fire (AKFAS)

Wildfire Status:

The Aggie Creek Fire, currently situated approximately 23 miles northwest of Fairbanks, Alaska, has reached a size of 2,630 acres and is still actively burning with no containment reported. As of June 24, 2025, the fire is part of a complex incident that also includes the Himalaya Road Fire and the Washington Creek Fire, with the Southwest Area Incident Management Team 3 now in command of the situation. The fire began on June 20, 2025, and is believed to have been sparked by lightning.

Firefighting efforts are substantial, with approximately 100 personnel deployed to combat the blaze. However, the fire remains uncontained, which poses significant challenges for the response teams. The current conditions are particularly concerning, as the region is experiencing hot, dry, and windy weather, which is expected to contribute to a high rate of spread for the fire. These weather factors are critical in the ongoing assessment and tactical planning of firefighting operations.

Fire agencies are actively monitoring the situation and adjusting their strategies to mitigate the fire's spread. The fuels involved primarily consist of timber, grass, and understory vegetation, which can accelerate the fire's intensity. As the response continues, the focus remains on protecting nearby communities and minimizing the impact of the wildfire.
