Management of the Lime Complex has been transferred to the Alaska Division of Forestry and Fire Protection Mat-Su Southwest Area.
Firefighters are working to backhaul equipment in Lime Village, Iliamna, and Sleetmute. Over 10,000 lbs. of suppression equipment, communication equipment and supplies will be removed and flown out by aircraft. Fire activity has been moderated by cooler temperatures and precipitation received over the complex area within the last week.
Weather: Isolated to scattered showers are anticipated on Saturday, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. Chances for wetting rain over the weekend are low. The next system moves in Sunday night through Monday bringing with it an increase in wind and rain.
The Lime Complex consists of two staffed fires and sixteen unstaffed fires. The total size of the combined fires is 865,620 acres, and there are 26 resources assigned to the complex—an area covering 21 million acres. Each of these fires was caused by lightning. The fires will continue to be monitored for growth and potential threats to identified values. Resources are ready to respond if needed to protect values at risk.
