Firefighters in Alaska withdraw from Card Street Fire

Firefighters working on the Card Street fire 54 air miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska on June 15 had to make a strategic withdrawal when a crown fire encroached on their position, as you can see in this video. Since the fire started on June 15 it has burned over 7,000 acres.

The InciWeb site describes the photo above as “Initial attack near homes”, so it may have been taken on June 15 also.
