Tok Rebuilds After Mukluk Fire | Anchorage News

The Mukluk Fire tore through Tok, destroying 50 homes and over 100 buildings across 7,000 acres—now, with winter looming, recovery is in full swing. The governor’s disaster declaration unlocks state aid for uninsured losses, with a deadline of October 19th; 74 residents have already applied. Federal support is also being eyed for hit businesses. Debris cleanup is a massive task, but volunteer groups like Team Rubicon—made up of veterans—are building Arctic shelters and delivering firewood. Firefighters are making headway thanks to cooler temps and rain, though hunters are warned to stay away from burn zones. With the fire season ending September 14th, burn permits still apply—and the community is rallying to rebuild and brace for winter.
