This rating is a measure used by fire managers to assess the fire danger level in spruce forests. This rating considers factors such as weather conditions, fuel moisture, and fire behavior potential to determine how likely and intense a wildfire could be in areas dominated by spruce trees. It helps in making decisions about resource allocation, fire prevention measures, and issuing warnings or advisories. The rating typically ranges from low to extreme, indicating the severity of the fire risk.</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://akfireinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/red-flag-warning-20240618.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Red Flag Warning 20240618</image:title><image:caption>Graphic showing the area of Alaska where there is a Red Flag Warning in effect for part of northern Interior to include the Yukon Flats for June 18, 2024.</image:caption></image:image><lastmod>2024-06-22T01:59:51+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/21/high-lightning-activity-starts-new-fires-in-alaska/</loc><lastmod>2024-06-22T00:42:47+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/21/fires-continue-to-grow-as-firefighters-make-gains-in-southwest-alaska/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://akfireinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/image.jpeg</image:loc><image:title>image</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2024-06-21T23:51:48+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/21/firefighters-continue-burn-operations-on-the-mcdonald-fire/</loc><lastmod>2024-06-21T20:39:59+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/20/firefighters-continue-to-make-progress-on-southwest-alaska-fires/</loc><lastmod>2024-06-21T20:02:09+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/20/mcdonald-fire-remains-west-of-the-tanana-river/</loc><lastmod>2024-06-21T20:01:35+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/19/firefighters-maintain-vigilance-on-mcdonald-fire/</loc><lastmod>2024-06-21T20:00:39+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/20/fires-across-central-and-eastern-alaska-continue-to-impact-air-quality-in-the-region/</loc><lastmod>2024-06-21T01:53:37+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/19/resources-deploy-and-suppression-action-ramps-up-on-southwest-alaska-fires/</loc><lastmod>2024-06-20T01:46:55+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/18/smokejumpers-aircraft-responding-to-pair-of-fires-near-ambler-in-northwestern-alaska/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://akfireinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/map_gad_rabbit181-garland180_allotments_20240618.png</image:loc><image:title>MAP_GAD_Rabbit181-Garland180_Allotments_20240618</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://akfireinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/map_gad_rabbit181-garland180_20240618.png</image:loc><image:title>MAP_GAD_Rabbit181-Garland180_20240618</image:title><image:caption>Map showing the location of the Rabbit Fire and the Garland Fire burning southeast of Ambler and east of the Kobuk River.</image:caption></image:image><lastmod>2024-06-19T18:07:20+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/18/initial-attack-increases-across-southwest-alaska-causing-air-quality-to-diminish/</loc><lastmod>2024-06-19T02:53:43+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/18/recent-lightning-sparks-multiple-new-fires-in-southwest-alaska/</loc><lastmod>2024-06-19T00:15:39+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://akfireinfo.com/2024/06/18/gusty-erratic-winds-increase-fire-behavior-on-mcdonald-fire/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://akfireinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/map_fairbanksnorthstarboroughevacuationupgrade_20240618.jpg</image:loc><image:title>map_fairbanksnorthstarboroughevacuationupgrade_20240618</image:title><image:caption>Updated map for the Fairbanks North Star Borough's evacuation status in the area near the McDonald Fire.

When the fire started on July 28 helicopters, Fire Bosses, and an air tanker made repeated drops to keep the fire acreage small. The heavy initial attack response, work being done by firefighters on the ground to wrap the perimeter with hose lay, and strategic use of Old Murphy Dome fuel break have kept the fire from growing.
