A wildland firefighter from Oregon who was reported missing Thursday in Alaska's Interior area has been found alive, a fire official said. Salem resident Saudith Rendon, 51, had traveled north with the Oregon Wildland Fire Hand Crew to help fight the Lost Horse Creek Fire north of Fairbanks, the state Division of Forestry and Fire Protection said in a statement. He was reported missing Thursday morning after failing to meet up with the rest of his crew to drive to the fire from the Olnes Pond Campground along the Elliott Highway, the division said.
