The slide happened at about 4:30 p.m. on Monday and sent a stack of trees and debris across Mitkof Highway, which connects downtown Petersburg to many residents that live out of town.
“We’re still searching the pile,” Fire Chief Jim Stolpe said. “I’ve got guys on the other side, and I’ve got two people searching the pile… on that side of the road. Because if there was a car there, when it came through, then that’s what we need to find out. So, there is a little bit of super serious tension right now.”Fire Department Spokesman Dave Berg said the damage to infrastructure was extensive.
He said that the Alaska Department of Transportation, or DOT, is responsible for removing debris. The road is an Alaska state highway. “I was on the road. I just picked up the family,” he said. “We were taking the girls in to do trick or treating. …And by the time I drove from their house, to… the store, the power was out.”
