The McDonald and Clear wildfires have joined in the latest perimeter analysis available from Alaska Interagency Coordination Center. The McDonald Fire is on track to be the largest wildfire in Fairbanks North Star Borough since the 2009 Wood River 1 fire (125,000 acres). #akwx #Wildfire #Summer2024 #McDonaldFire #ClearFire #Smoke

@AlaskaWx @anisian @leepetersen @BakerRL75 Will it be a fire complex now or will the two fires still be referred to separately?

@Climatologist49 @anisian @leepetersen @BakerRL75 That I don’t know. This was at one point three separate fires (Clear, Meridian and McDonald) so past practice would, I think, suggest it will be declared a complex.
