Burn Permit Suspension

Mat-Su

TBD

The Matanuska-Susitna valley will be entering into a burn permit suspension at 0900am on Saturday June 21st.  This is due to above average temperatures and persistent drought conditions, as well as multiple large fires currently burning in the state of Alaska.  A burn permit suspension means no burning of burn barrels, debris piles, or lawn burns.  Campfires smaller than 3ft in diameter for the purpose of warming, cooking, or signaling are still allowed.  Adequate clearance away from combustibles and attendance until cold to the touch are still required for campfires.  Any approved fire, even a small one should be undertaken with extreme caution and vigilance at this time of year.  

Thank you for your compliance in getting through the 2025 fire season safely.

Burn Permit Suspension  in effect immediately per DNR Commisioner for the Kenai Peninsula and Kodiak Island

As of 8:00 am on Thursday, July 3rd, 2025, the burn suspension . 

This suspension is being put in place because of an increase in fire activity in Interior Alaska and the relocation of fire resources from across the state to wildfires in Interior Alaska. The suspension will remain in place until fire activity is reduced, and resources become more readily available. Burning of debris piles, lawns, or utilizing a burn barrel is prohibited. Please note that cooking and warming type fires under 3 feet in diameter are still allowed but extreme caution must be used due to the wildfire potential should an ember escape or a fire be left unattended or not completely put out.
