    Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson   

    Soldiers from B Company, 1st Battalion, 207th Aviation Regiment, Alaska Army National Guard, survey the 40-acre fire scene from their UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter as they lift of to pick up the remaining members of the U.S. Forest Service’s Lassen Interagency Hotshot Crew of Susanville, Calif., from Palmer, Alaska, June 28, 2013. Unusually hot and dry weather, coupled with severe lightning strikes, have made conditions prime for wildfires, with more than 110 active fires currently burning throughout the state. Army National Guard assets are activated on order when all Federal, state, and contract resources have been exhausted.
