The Camp House fire’s burning estimate is 14,979 acres and the Jenkins Creek fire estimate is 15,571 acres.
The acreage report was updated as a result of more accurate readings by infrared drones.

Crews are also assessing the viability of setting up structure protection near Fairbanks.
For the Jenkins Fire, protection of the Skibo community is a priority operational objective.
