• Interior Alaska's wildfire season had a mild start, but that could change fast (alaskapublic.org) — Wildfires that destroyed homes in Healy last year are a key reminder as experts warn this summer’s slow, wet start doesn’t mean the danger has passed. Climate and weather specialists say rising temperatures, longer days, and incoming thunderstorms could quickly dry fuels and spark new fires across the Interior, urging residents to follow burn rules, fully extinguish campfires, and watch afternoon storms closely.
