  • Ash Pit Burn Injuries
    Event Type: Ash Pit Burn Injuries Date: Mid-Late August 2019 Fire Season Location: Southcentral Alaska “The normal season-ending rains that have arrived over Alaska’s Interior have yet to materialize over Southcentral Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula. The weather forecast for the next several days shows that, aside from some isolated rain showers, no widespread steady rains are expected.” Eric Stevens, Fire Meteorologist Alaska Interagency Coordination Center Drought Code indices for Southcentral Alaska on August 23, 2019. Introduction The 2019 fire season in Southcentral Alaska has been unusually dry and the area is experiencing extreme to severe drought. Drought indices are at or above historic highs which has allowed fuels to dry to a substantial depth. Fires in the area are burning deep into organic layers in the ground, creating hazardous ash pits that have caused burn injuries to several firefighters. Historically, Southcentral Alaska has experienced similar ash pit issues in 1996 (Millers Reach Fire) and 2015 (Sockeye Fire). The combination of deep duff and organic soils with drought conditions creates an environment for fires to burn deep into the ground and create ash pits that may be more hazardous than those encountered in other areas of the state. Other contributing factors include ground material being disturbed from home site improvement, agriculture and wind rows. The depth and heat trapped within some ash pits has taken firefighters by surprise. Firefighters may not recognize the hazard associated with these areas. The Swan Lake and McKinley fires have reported multiple ash pit-related burn injuries. 1 Swan Lake Fire Located on the Kenai Peninsula Northeast of Sterling, Alaska A two-person saw team from an IHC crew was performing hazard tree mitigation on this fire when the swamper stepped into an 18-inch-deep ash pit while trying to move a bucked log.

We had many accomplishments and should be proud of our growth. We took a department that was in a good place and made it extraordinary. We continue to be an example for other departments to follow. As I have said it’s easy to be great once but the real challenge is being great all the time. We must, as an organization, keep our foot on the pedal and continue to grow and develop our people and our organization. Our goal at the LaGrange Fire Department is to continuously exceed the expectations of the community and our stakeholders. In 2019 we reached three major milestones. We added a fifth fire station that will provide quicker response to the northwest quadrant of the city. We added a training center that meets all our training needs. We maintained our ISO classification of 2 during our last audit. To have these two additions to our department within a single year is exceptional and to maintain our ISO classification was monumental. Each of these milestones helps us provide a better service for the citizens of LaGrange.
