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.
C206 pilot reported being advised in AUUO area to contact temporary tower. Pilot stated there was apparently an error in filing the Tower NOTAM; which was filed for a different airport.
