A lightning-sparked wildfire is burning in Nowitna National Wildlife Refuge, in the state’s interior.
The blaze, dubbed the “Big Mud Fire,” was discovered Wednesday by a civilian aircraft about 55 miles southwest of Tanana.
It’s estimated at around 300 acres.
According to a BLM press release, a U.S. Forest Service cabin is about 2 miles south of the fire, but does not appear to be threatened, currently.
BLM will continue to monitor the fire.
