Overnight storms bring more rain to #PtarmiganComplex fires

BY BLM ALASKA FIRE SERVICE on JUNE 25, 2025

The fires that make up the Ptarmigan Complex near Central and Circle received wetting rain from thunderstorms that passed through the area overnight. A quarter inch of rain was recorded at the portable weather station firefighters set up east of Central. Rain and isolated thunderstorms are expected today and fire behavior is likely to be less active, however, smoldering is expected to continue and outflow winds from passing thunderstorms could lead to increased fire activity.

The Smith River Hotshots arrived Tuesday, allowing 12 of the 20 smokejumpers assigned to the complex to demobilize to prepare for future assignments. One hundred people are now assigned to the complex.

The public is asked to be aware that firefighters will be assessing structures and potential fuel breaks in the Central area over the next few days. Please give them plenty of room to work.

#TurtleFire (#243) –After arriving in the afternoon, the Smith River Hotshots were briefed and began familiarizing themselves the area where they will be working. Smokejumpers patrolled the river by boat. They reported no fire activity and no smoke in the flats between the western flank of the fire and the river…
