 Back in 1959, a fire gutted seven businesses in the wake of a 24-hour winter storm. I want to know where this occurred at. 907-283-5811. Good morning, KSRM. Fairbanks. It was not in Fairbanks. A lot of guesses for Fairbanks when I gave the clue when I said downtown. Yeah, so the area was a downtown district. Took out seven businesses in the wake of a winter storm. One fire. Where did this happen? Good morning, KSRM.
