Topographic map of the evacuation area near the Nenana Ridge Complex.  Statement from the DNR below 

📢 GO! Evacuations: #NenanaRidgeComplex  🔥

Evacuations: Dineege Ave between Milepost 320 and 321 has been issued a Level 3 "GO!" evacuation order for the #GoldstreamCreekFire (part of the Nenana Ridge Fire Complex).

The fire is actively pushing south towards this residential area, and crews are working on contingency structure protection.

Parks Highway Delays: Expect significant delays on the Parks Highway. Fire operations will impact traffic flow along the roadway. Please drive with extreme caution, watch for pilot cars, and be ready for long waits.

Crews are working hard to establish control lines, especially on the southwest and east sides of the fire. Red Flag conditions are contributing to increase fire behavior across the region.

Stay informed & stay safe:
    •    Check https://511.alaska.gov/ for the latest road conditions and closures before you travel.
 
    •   DO NOT fly drones in fire areas! This interferes with firefighting aircraft and puts lives at risk.
We'll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

📣 Traveler & Public Safety Alerts

🚧 Expect traffic restrictions along Parks, Elliott, and Glenn Highways near active fire zones — watch for firefighting operations and pilot-car systems. Check https://511.alaska.gov/ for real time road closures and conditions.

🛟 Stay safe: Register for alerts, keep a go-kit, prepare defensible space, and avoid travel in affected areas.

⚠️ Do not operate drones in fire areas! Flying drones or UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) within or near wildfires could cause injury or death to firefighters and hamper their ability to protect lives, property, and resources. If you fly, we can’t!

📍 For live maps, alerts & updates visit https://akfireinfo.com

🫵 Local authorities and borough emergency services are coordinating shelters and evacuations.

The image shows an aerial view of a forest landscape with a visible expanse of smoke rising from a large darkened area, likely indicative of a fire. The area affected by the fire appears charred and devoid of trees. Surrounding the burned section is a dense and vibrant green forest that stretches into the distance. In the foreground, a mixture of wetlands and small bodies of water can be seen, with reflective surfaces and patches of green vegetation. The sky is overcast, lending a grayish hue to the overall scene, and the horizon is visible in the backdrop.
