Fire professionals across the State are urging all Alaskans and visitors to be careful and prevent human-caused wildfires.
Burn permits are required for any open burning on state, municipal, or private lands.
- Burn permits are free and available at State Forestry offices and local fire departments.

Burn permits are not required for camping, cooking, or warming fires less than 3 feet in diameter with flame lengths less than 2 feet high.
Those who want to burn brush are encouraged to do so now when fire danger is low.
