Fire Management
Fire Prevention
Use caution when burning with a burn barrel or piles of debris. Clear
an area around the burn and have a shovel and water source nearby.
For
campfires please use designated fire pits or create a rock ring around your fire.
Never leave a campfire unattended. Make sure that it is dead out when you leave.
Even some warm embers can get blown into grasses and start a forest fire.
Contact
Alaska Division of Forestry for information on required burn permits at: 260-4200
