The grocery store and main fuel source in the Western Alaska community of Stebbins were destroyed in an early morning fire, raising questions about food and fuel security for the winter.
There is no fire department in Stebbins, which is located roughly 120 miles southeast of Nome and home to more than 600 people. The remnants of the buildings were still smoldering Tuesday afternoon, Martin said.
Raymond said she could hear bullets explode as the fire reached ammunition that was sold at the store. An Alaska State Trooper was in Stebbins when the fire occurred and a deputy fire marshal will investigate the origin and cause, troopers spokesman Austin McDaniel said.
