More than 300 wildfires are burning across Alaska right now- mostly in a wide swath of the interior and Southwest part of the state. More than 3 million acres of the state have burned so far this summer, which is on pace to beat the record setting 2004 season.
Tim Mowry is a fire information spokesperson with the State Division of Forestry. He says several fires that were quieting down roared to life again yesterday (Monday) as temperatures reached into the 90s.
