A commercial building in midtown that houses Denali Disposal went up in smoke early Saturday morning. Several other businesses were impacted, including Play Again Sports.
Denali Disposal, which rents space in the building, is owned by GOP political strategist Bernadette Wilson, who started her business nine years ago.
Wilson, age 40, is a leading political figure in Alaska, who is considered by many to be one of the most effective activists in the state. She has hosted both television interview and talk radio talk shows (KFQD) in Anchorage.
Wilson was a strategic advisor to the Nick Begich campaign for Congress and was the Alaska director for Americans for Prosperity and later the Alaska Policy Forum.
She is one of the key principals behind the latest petition effort to remove ranked-choice voting from Alaska’s election system.
Wilson has worked on more than a dozen Republican or conservative political campaigns and led the successful 2010 voter initiative known as “Parental Notification,” which pertained to minors getting abortions without their parents being informed.
Wilson arrived on fiery scene about 1/2 hour after the fire department arrived on Saturday morning. As of publication time, there were still fire department units on site. There are several other tenants in the building, which was fully sprinklered.
It’s still too early to know anything,?? but If the left can’t win, they start other things to destroy people.
Wondering why politics was part of this article about a building burning down. It didn’t add a thing to the article.
The reasoning is quite obvious really. To describe the victim who is a notable Alaskan.
Think. Think. Crime scene? Motive?
Let me explain something: the Left is well known in their tactics. Remember the “Summer of Love” in 2020? How many cities were torched, police HQs burned? People killed? The coercion of forcing the military to take a deadly vaccine? The vilification of Donald Trump with lie after lie after lie? The RCV scam? The rigging of elections? The corruption of the judiciary? Trump’s correct observation about DEI and the FAA?
How many “conspiracy theories” have turned into “conspiracy FACTS”? If this was a matter of spontaneous combustion, an accident or carelessness, it is nevertheless not unreasonable, in these benighted times, to speculate about … “coincidences”.
Bernadette, Roberta and Dan,
So sorry this happened but just glad no one was there and hurt. I am sure you will grow back bigger and better.
Please keep us up to date on info as it comes in, Suzanne.
We’d all like to know if this was purely accidental, or something nefarious.
Bernadette is a little firecracker, and we all owe her gratitude for her tireless work on Conservative causes.
Hmmmmm…. I wonder what the chances are of there being just a tad bit of arson involved. I really hope not. Keep us informed Suzzane.
I’ll take ‘Enemy Action’ for $1,000, Alex.
Saw it at 7:50 this morning. There are many businesses in that building and many employees are very negatively affected. Hope that recovery goes quickly and prayers for those affected.
Wilson had a radio talk show with Berkowitz a number of years ago. She always was on-point but all Berkowitz could say was stupid and snarky.
During this fire, AFD contacted AWWU to raise the pressure in the water mains because they were using so much water to fight the fire. Without the water from the Eklutna Water Project, this would not have been possible for service south of Tudor Road.
I want to see some detail – not just a whitewash from the fire marshall.
Well wishes and prayers, Bernadette, Roberta and Dan.
Torched because the a infantile degenerate didn’t have a Tesla dealership to vandalize?
Interesting that NOTHING was said in the ADN article about what the business was. Hmmm. I read that story before coming to MRA and discovered the story here with details not included in ADN. Normally a news story would identify the building that was affected and occasionally the owner. But ADN was silent.
Only “notable” Alaskans deserve a mention here, I guess. Our neighbor is an employee in one of the businesses, and his workplace was engulfed in flames. My husband contacted the neighbor when he drove by it yesterday morning. His boss didn’t know until my husband made that call. A lot of families will have been impacted. Why not give them some mention, not just your bestie, Bernadette?
I’m a bit dissapointed in this news story that is about a fire. I do not see how the owners politics has anything at all to do with the fire itself.
Another conspiracy article to keep the low IQ base angry.
The recent slew of fires got me curious enough to look over the news coverage. Both ADN and Alaska’s News Source reported on a fire at “Fairbanks Street and West 7th Avenue”. Read that again carefully and/or dwell on it if you’re confused. IYKYK, in other words, they publish what AFD tells them to publish and there’s no fact checking occurring through their editorial process.
There are cameras everywhere, hopefully politics in anchorage have not come to this. Bernadette should move her business to mat-Su. Anchorage is a waste. Unfortunately.
