As burn permits have become available since the start of fire season on April 1, state officials warn against burning items too late in the season.Â
âBurn debris early in the season when the ground is still wet and fire danger is low, instead of waiting until later in the spring or summer when conditions are drier,â the Alaska Division of Forestry said in a press release.Â
Small- and large-scale burn permits are available through August 31. Permits are needed for any open burn on state, private and municipal lands. They are required to burn brush piles or to use burn barrels, as well as for agricultural burning and burning of maintained lawns. They can be obtained online from the stateâs Division of Forestry.Â
