All 2026 Alaska Fires · 110 fires

A fire is listed here when it is located in Alaska. Each complex is counted once, through its parent: the parent carries the complex's acres, and its member fires are listed beneath it without being counted again. A fire that crossed the border is listed with the acres that burned in Alaska, not its whole reported size. A fire located elsewhere that burned into Alaska is listed too, at its Alaska acres, and is not added to the Alaska fire counts.
