Burn Permit Suspension (UPDATE – Suspension Lifted)

Beginning Thursday, June 18th, the area will enter a burn permit suspension due to very high fire danger, forecasted lightning, and limited resource availability following multiple new starts around the state. During the suspension, burn barrels, debris piles, and lawn burns are not allowed.

Small campfires (under 3 feet in diameter) for warming, cooking, or signaling are still permitted. As always, they must have adequate clearance from combustibles and be attended until fully extinguished and cold to the touch. Even with these allowances, any fire activity should be approached with extreme caution given current conditions.

UPDATE:  The Mat-Su area will be lifting its burn permit suspension as of 0800 on 6/24/2026. The Mat-Su burn permit hotline and the website will be changed after 1900 tonight to reflect this suspension being lifted. Additionally, all of our signs should currently be set to HIGH to reflect the current fire danger. This may change tomorrow but as of 6/23/26 we are still in high fire danger.
