The Division of Forestry & Fire Prevention issued a Burn Permit Suspension for the Kenai-Kodiak, Mat-Su and Copper Rivers Areas effective at 9:00 am on Saturday June 21st. This is due to increased wildfire activity in the State and the relocation of firefighting resources to Interior Alaska.

A burn permit suspension means no burning of burn barrels, debris piles, or lawn burns on state, municipal and private lands. The suspension applies to permits issued by the division, as well as those issued by boroughs or municipalities.
