Upcoming fire restrictions for the interior region
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a fire prevention order on Thursday for areas north of Fairbanks. These restrictions prohibit campfires, fireworks and explosives on federal land near the Fox area which contains fire-prone black spruce. According to the BLM, numerous unattended bonfires in the recent past have led to concerns that an escaped fire would threaten the Gilmore Trail and Brier Road residential areas, as well as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) facility on Gilmore Creek. The order will begin at 12 a.m. on May 1, and will end at midnight on Oct. 31, unless weather conditions or other factors change. If anyone is convicted of violating this order, there will be a $1,000 fine and possibly a year in jail.

Update: Crew of fuel plane reported fire just before fatal crash near Fairbanks
Federal officials say the pilots of a cargo plane carrying thousands of gallons of fuel reported a fire just after taking off from Fairbanks Tuesday, then tried to turn back before they died in a fiery crash along the Tanana River. The Federal Aviation Administration said in an incident report Wednesday that both pilots of the Douglas C-54, a four-engine propeller plane, were killed at about 10 a.m. Tuesday in the crash roughly seven miles south of Fairbanks International Airport. Officials have not yet identified the two people killed in the crash or the cause of the onboard fire. The flight was operated by Alaska Air Fuel, according to Clint Johnson, the National Transportation Safety Board’s Alaska chief. According to Johnson, the C-54 was carrying 3,200 gallons of fuel oil bound for Kobuk, a small community roughly 300 miles away in the Northwest Arctic Borough.
