ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) A wildfire burning near a hot springs resort close to Fairbanks crossed a ridgeline Friday two miles south of Chena Hot Springs Resort, a fire official said.
About 100 firefighters moved back to set up protective measures around structures at the resort, along with recreational cabins and a few homes at the end of Chena Hot Springs Road.
Residents and guests at the resort have been cautioned to have their bags ready in case they need to evacuate.
“It’s far away, so we’re fine,” said Javier Javier Villasenor-Gaona, a vice president at the resort.
