Fire fight on Highway 18 continues

On Highway 18, in the area known as Arctic Circle, firefighters have been mounting an aggresive attack in an effort to keep the fire from backing down into the road. The concern is that if it does, you'll have a lot of debris coming down. Officials also worry that if they lose all that vegetation on those slopes, it's possible county officials will have to close Highway 18 through much of the winter and possibly into the spring because of concerns over run-off.
