WEATHER CONDITION AT INCIDENT OR NEARBY STATIONS

...REMARKS...
This spot weather forecast is requested by the Fire Marshal for the
University Fire Department. This request is for permitting and
oversight responsibilities of this office related to UAFs Starvation
Gulch bonfires. Between 6-8 large bonfires are ignited as part of a
campus tradition of more than 100-years conveying the passing of
knowledge from class to class.

Weather forecasts specific for the event are necessary to assure the
fires can be ignited without harming adjacent infrastructure or
compromising the observing publics safety attending the event. Winds
and precipitation can affect the piles with how they burn and the
convective columns from them which could affect nearby adjacent
infrastructure and the observing publics safety.

Please feel free to contact Fire Marshal Kyle Green if you have any
further questions or related needs.
