Information On Burning From Alaska Wildland Fire Information 




As the weather warms and Alaskan residents work outdoors on their properties, please ensure that you have a valid, small-scale burn permit each time you are burning. 

You may burn only one debris pile at a time with a diameter 10 feet or less and no more than four feet high. You should have at least 10 feet of ground cleared to mineral soil extending to all sides of the pile until it’s completely out and cold to the touch. If you are lawn burning you may burn one acre or less and are required to maintain an 8 foot wet perimeter around the lawn at all times. Ensure you have sufficient water on hand to immediately extinguish the fire and tools close by when burning. Do not burn within 30’ of structures or power lines and remain with your burn the entire time.


Burn permits can be downloaded from https://dnr.alaska.gov/burn or picked up at local DOF offices as well as from local fire departments. Remember, you are responsible for every fire you start!
