**Start Date/Time/Location** The Meadow Creek Fire was discovered on June 18, 2025, approximately 10 miles east of the Nowitna River in Yukon-Koyukuk County, Alaska, and 54 miles northwest of Nikolai, AK[2][4][5]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest update, the fire is reported to be 5 acres in size and is 0% contained. However, there seems to be a discrepancy in the size reporting, with one source indicating it remains at 5 acres, while another suggests it might be larger but the exact size is not clarified[3][4]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire is described as burning in a limited protection area, meaning fire managers are allowing it to play its natural role in the ecosystem unless it threatens identified values. The fire behavior is currently minimal[2][5]. **Containment Efforts** The fire is being monitored by air, and there are no detailed reports of extensive ground operations to contain it at this time. The strategy is focused on monitoring rather than active suppression unless necessary to protect values at risk[2][5].
