Water has been the key to the record low fire season in 2023.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - The 2023 fire season in Alaska has passed by unnoticed as record low reports show little activity.
Unlike the blazes of 2022, Alaska has seen little fire activity in 2023, most of the fires so far having been small and short lived. “We’re at a pretty good spot in terms of fire weather,” said Bobby Bianco, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fairbanks, Alaska. According to Bianco, the lack of fires in 2023 primarily stems from current and residual precipitation.
Last season, break up came early and ended fast providing a lot of dry and exposed fuel at the beginning of the fire season. “That’s one of the largest factors that we do see,” said Bianco. But, that’s not the only difference resulting in the lack of fires this year. Alaska also hasn’t had nearly as many fires in 2023 as it did in 2022. “We’ve had about 150 wildfires this season with possibly a couple being lightning,” said Megan Mitchell, a prevention technician with the Dept. of Natural Resources. At this time last year there were over 200 active fires and hundreds more had been put out or burnt out naturally.
