Kenai Alaska Wildfire 2019: Swan Lake Fire Operations Update By John Glover
Watch this thorough video update of the 18,700 acre #SwanLakeFire burning in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge by Alaska IMT2 Operations Chief John Glover. Filmed in Sterling, Alaska on June 19th 2019 with photos and videos contributed by fire personnel. Many partners and cooperating agencies are involved with managing this lightning caused wildfire including Kenai Peninsula Borough, City of Kenai Fire Department, City of Soldotna, the City of Sterling and many more.
------- From the written update -------
Hand crews supported by aerial resources have dedicated all efforts to limit the amount of fire growth towards Sterling and the Sterling Highway corridor. Tuesday evening, the Gannett Glacier Type 2 Initial Attack Crew took advantage of a favorable weather window in the evening that allowed firing operations to proceed on the eastern flank. The goal of these operations is to remove fuel sources before the fire approaches, and to begin mop up as soon as possible to create a strong control line. With the need for the firing skills and expertise of hotshot crews, five crews from the Lower 48 were ordered Tuesday and will begin arriving later today to bolster the efforts of the four Alaskan crews currently engaged in suppression efforts.

Fire activity is anticipated today on the eastern flank of the fire where continuous black spruce stands are very receptive to fire spread. The short- and long-term goal is to prevent the fire from getting established east of Mystery Creek Road. Aerial supervisors will assess the fire behavior and will direct helicopter bucket work and air tankers as needed to keep this edge in check. Fire crews will continue to look for opportunities to utilize burnout operations and will begin the process of mopping up control lines.
Firefighters and fire prevention specialists are visiting Sterling community neighborhoods to assess the readiness of homeowners. There is currently no immediate threat to Sterling but now is the time to be prepared. More information can be found at Firewise.org, Alaska.gov/fire/firewise or Wildland Fire – Ready Set Go!

The Alaska Interagency Incident Management Team is hosting a community meeting Friday, June 21, at the Sterling Community Center at 6 p.m. Incident command staff will be on hand to provide fire information and will share the strategies and tactics being used to protect critical infrastructure throughout the community. All interested residents are welcome to attend and ask questions about this incident and efforts being made to protect the community and critical infrastructure.
OBJECTIVE: The fire is burning in a Limited protection area within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Fire managers with the Alaska Division of Forestry are working collaboratively with refuge personnel to manage the fire. The focus of all suppression efforts is to protect all of the values at risk including the community of Sterling and the highway corridor while reducing future wildland fire hazards and enhancing wildlife habitat.
WEATHER: Winds are predicted to be lighter today with a warming and drying trend continuing this week.
SAFETY: Motorists are urged to yield to fire apparatus entering the Sterling Highway and to adhere to traffic signage staged near miles 82 and 92. Observing the fire from a safe location should be practiced instead of stopping along the highway. For current road conditions visit Supporting agencies are posting fire and smoke-related information, official updates and helpful links at kpboem.com. The Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is still in effect to support suppression efforts and firefighter safety. Pilots can confirm the current TFR restrictions at tfr.faa.gov. Be advised that drone operation is not permitted on the refuge.

Hi guys!
Of all the places in the world, Alaska has been in the top 5 of my bucket list. My expectations for this trip of a lifetime were so high, and Alaska exceeded anything I had pictured in my imagination.
In this video, explore with me and my sister, Lindsay, while we hop a plane to meet in Anchorage, Alaska. From there, we rent a car and take an adventure through the wild!
Explore with me from Anchorage to Seward to Homer to Denali!
On this adventure, we spot seagulls, puffins, a humpback whale, moose, caribou, otter, sea lions, seals, crabs, fish, starfish, jellyfish, and the state bird!
We stay in cabins, yurts, a bus, hotels, and a traditional bnb.
I will be posting more specific posts about this trip on my blog! Please check it out!

We flew out in a seaplane or floatplane to Wolverine Creek in Alaska with High Adventure Air Charter. Seriously these guys are awesome and know what they're doing when it comes to a fishing experience in Alaska. Not only did we have amazing views of glaciers and blue lakes while flying to our destination, but we went to the best spot to fish! We were all alone with our guide for part of the day and it was the most serene and unreal experience.
While we were fishing more and more bears kept coming out and we were surrounded by them! Seriously we saw probably 8 different bears and they were so close to us it was unreal!

Knik Picnic bush pilot gathering at glacier -- Angle of Attack Show EP 4
Flying in Alaska - today's mission, headed north to the Knik (keh-nick) Glacier area, where we'd go to the Picnic Strip. Yup, it's a Knik Picnic. Many pilots from around the area would show up in their various bush-planes. It was a party for sure, but not the only great part of the trip. Later we'd swing by some glaciers at low level for some spectacular views on our way back to Soldotna.

Aviation is a small community, and even smaller in Alaska. A group of pilots decided to put on a Picnic near the Knik Glacier. There's a small, natural gravel strip there that is perfect for this type of gathering.
In the early morning I headed north to Soldotna to meet up with my friend Terry Godes who flies a Cessna 170B ( the Trusty Spam Can) on Bushwheels. I always learn so much when I go on these trips, and this was another instance where that was the case.
Terry and I really enjoyed the scenery on the way up as we flew over the Kenai River, Skilak Lake, Cooper Landing, Hope, Turnagain Arm, Girdwood, and into the Chugach Mountains.
We then descended into the Knik Valley on our way to the Picnic strip. There we had a great time meeting up with friends old and new, as we watched the airplanes come and go. It was chilly, but a beautiful and perfect day. Couldn't have been any better!
On our way back we flew over Inner Lake George, and past the Colony Glacier. At low level, we were blown away by the views of the glacier ice up close. Just hard to believe all the hues of blue.
Spoiler alert!!!: Watch out for dogs on the runway!
