Wildfire officials planned to ramp up the response to a fire that's burning in a military training area near Delta Junction.

The 100 Mile Creek Fire in the Donnelly Training Area has been burning for about a month. The fire over the weekend grew from 14.7 square miles to 22.5 square miles. Warmer temperatures and a change in wind were behind the expanded burning acreage, according to the Alaska Interagency Coordination Centre. Winds from the south pushed the fire northwest into a dry channel of a creek.
