2004 was the worst summer for smoke in Fairbanks EVER, at least as far as we’re concerned!
The smoke hung around for over 3 weeks. It was rough. Here are before and after photos from that summer:
I shouldn’t have been out taking photos in this stuff! This is the Chena River and the 2 buildings are the Key Bank building and the Springhill Suites Hotel.
Here is another one showing Springhill Suites, which was at the time very new.
Luckily, the past few days have been pretty clear and now we’ve had a downpour or two, so things are looking up for those of us who want the fires to go away!
