  By U.S. Wildland Fire Service on July 23, 2025

  

  Firefighters on the Tlozhavun Fire have completely controlled and suppressed the 22-acre fire 10 miles south of Fort Yukon and will transition off the incident to support other firefighting efforts. Steady progress on Ptarmigan Complex fires continued Tuesday, including the removal of structure protection equipment because fire is no longer posing a threat to the cabin. Fire managers will continue to watch for and be ready to respond to new starts in northeastern Alaska as warmer, drier weather is expected in the coming days, particularly in the Yukon Flats.
