Hooper Bay - Tense Moments as Fire Raged

HOOPER BAY, AK (August 9, 2006) - The tough task of rebuilding faces residents following the devastating fire last week that gutted this remote Alaskan village. Following are images taken as the blazing inferno wreaked havoc, destroying the elementary and high schools, at least one business, and more than a dozen homes.

  Fire spreads to a nearby home.
 Fire breaks through the walls of the home, which was completely consumed in a matter of minutes.
 
  The speed with which the blaze swept through the buildings was stunning.
 Residents were helpless in efforts to halt the advance of the flames.  
  The blaze moved with amazing speed.
 The billowing smoke could be seen for great distances.
 

 

 
 The heat was intense
