Narrative:

I called fai FSS to be briefed on a flight to uuo. Brief was good and I specifically asked about notams and tfrs. At the time there was a big tfr adjacent to uuo. In fact the tfr specially had a notch cut out of it to allow VFR traffic in and out of uuo! Upon arrival at uuo (12.5nm out) a voice came up on uuo's CTAF freq. Requesting me to come up on towers frequency 123.45 which I did; requested and received clearance to land. Uuo is a small typical dirt alaskan non towered airport and has never had a tower before; ever! Talking with tower after landing I was informed this was a temporary tower due to the volume of increased traffic for the wild forest fire. Good idea FAA. So I immediately called back to fairbanks FSS and complained about not be given that NOTAM during preflight.the reply was that the NOTAM for uuo was accidentally filed at iys; another airport 25 miles away.
