Ipsen said a flareup on Saturday burned about 20 acres on the west edge of the fire.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/alaskamovingnetwork.com\/?p=337\">FEMA approves tribal disaster declaration for Kipnuk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;This is still an active fire,&#8221; Ipsen said. &#8220;We urge people in Amler to take precautions, making their property safer from fire, moving that firewood pile away from the home, clearing some brush.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAlmost 70 Fire Service employees were responding to the fire and working on its eastern and western edge, the agency said.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe agency also warned that pollutants in the smoke can be harmful to people&#8217;s health, especially for elders, young children and people with respiratory conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\nWarmer, drier weather was forecast for the area for later this week.
