 The Alaska Division of Forestry would like to remind you that burning is like fishing, hunting, or driving and requires a permit. To legally use a burn barrel or burn that pile of branches, the property owner or tenant must have a small-scale burn permit. Burn permits are free and available online at forestry.alaska.gov forward slash burn or can be found at one of your local fire stations. Almost all human-caused fires are avoidable. Protect yourselves and your neighbors by always burning responsibly.
