To ensure the safety and continuation of fire suppression efforts, a temporary flight restriction was place over the Lost Horse Creek Fire.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - On Aug. 2, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Dept. of Natural Resources put out a temporary flight restriction over the air space of the Lost Horse Creek Fire.
Once the responding firefighters began to put in a dozer line, there was a non-stop group of fire planes dropping fire retardant. With the short intervals of travel, immediacy of the situation and increasing smoke filled sky, the Division of Forestry, part of the DNR, put in place a temporary flight restriction or TFR “What we currently have in place for our TFR, which is in place at this moment until Sept.
To create the TFR, a location inside the fire is selected as a center point for the radius of the restricted air zone. Then the perimeter of the TFR is drawn, sometimes taking the shape of circle and other times different polygons. Operations at the airport however, are not impacted by the TFR, only potential flight routes. “It is fine to take off and Land at the airport, but if they encounter that airspace that has a restricted flight zone, they encouraged to go around it,” said Zak Mitchell, a public information officer for Fairbanks International Airport.
