The Alaska Division of Fire and Life Safety and the Mat-Su Fire Chiefs Association will light two fires at the fair Aug. 29 and Sept. 2 at 6 pm, showing a live audience how fast a home fire will spread.

Fairgoers at the Alaska State Fair will see for themselves how fast a home fire will spread and how well a home fire sprinkler performs. The Alaska Division of Fire and Life Safety, part of the Department of Public Safety, and the Mat-Su Fire Chiefs Association will light two fires at the fair Aug. 29 and Sept. 2, both at 6 pm, before a live audience at the Alaska State Fair grandstand area.

“Sometimes people just need to see it to believe it,” said Mahlon Greene, coordinator of public education for the Alaska Division of Fire and Life Safety.
