| Alaska Division of Forestry explains some odd things that start fires Wildfire season is in full swing in Alaska, and the Division of Forestry wants to remind people that all that dry grass is basically a tinder blanket across the state. When it comes to what starts fires, division Public Information Officer Tim Mowry said he's seen some unexpected things start a blaze. As of late last week, Mowry said there have been more than 60 fires reported in the state so far this season. Since it's not quite the time of year where lightning is common, almost every single one has been human caused, he said. Mowry said by in large, escaped burn barrels and debris fires are the most common cause of preventable fires in Alaska. However, every year, the division sees some different causes.

They say 34-year-old Raymond Gonzalez stole the ambulance around 11:30 a.m. from the area of Fourth and Spruce streets.

"We're very fortunate that the patient's condition wasn't life threatening," said Reading Fire Chief William Stoudt.
