There is a relatively small forest/brush fire about five miles from our housing area in Healy. This fire started last summer, spent the winter smoldering in the peat contained in the permafrost and in small veins of coal in the area and has now broken out again.
The wind has kept the smoke going away from our housing area so we do not usually smell the smoke. But we certainly see the smoke, not only from the housing area but 10 miles away at the Princess Lodge.
Smoke above the mountains. Picture was taken in front of the Princess Lodge about 15 miles from the fire.
About 8am, while driving along the Parks Highway between Denali and Healy, smoke from the fire lays down close to ground
