The above is a live webcam provided by the folks at Borealis Broadband that shows the Broken Snowshoe fire. If you refresh this page, you should see an updated image, which is available every 60 seconds. HERE is a direct link to the webcam.
The Broken Snowshoe fire 15 miles north of McGrath, Alaska, and about 200 miles northwest of Anchorage, has burned about 5,000 acres of black spruce forest. Structure protection is occurring along the Kuskokwim river, where fish camps and cabins are at risk. Lightning started a half-dozen fires in the area over the last two days, and this one is the largest.
Here is a Google map that not only shows McGrath, AK, but if you drag the map so you can see the area south of McGrath, you will be able to see a fire in progress when the satellite image was taken.
