🔥 High Fire Danger Advisory for Southcentral Alaska 🔥

The Alaska Division of Forestry & Fire Protection is advising of High Fire Danger across much of Southcentral Alaska, including the Mat-Su Valley, Anchorage Municipality, and areas reaching toward Kenai and Kodiak.

Strong winds combined with little to no snow cover have created conditions where fires can start and spread quickly.

Local fire departments have already responded to fires that have moved into the wildland interface, sparked by downed power lines and wind knocking trees into power lines, sparks spread into nearby trees, brush, and exposed dry grasses.

Even though we are outside of burn permit season, we are asking everyone to remain mindful of any outdoor fire use. These conditions can turn a small spark into a fast-moving wildfire.

📌Please note:
• Fire Danger signs will not be updated
• The burn permit website will not reflect this advisory, due to burn permits not being required
• Fire danger conditions will be reassessed again before New Year's Eve

🎆 Fireworks reminder: Firework restrictions and approvals are not determined by DFFP. Those decisions are made by the Alaska State Fire Marshal’s Office and local boroughs or municipalities. Please check with your local authority before use.

We appreciate everyone doing their part to reduce wildfire risk during this windy period.

Staying aware and using extra care now helps keep firefighters and communities safe.

Beautiful morning commute to Seward.

Heads up, folks.

If you’re driving near a wildfire or along a fireline — slow. down.
Our crews are working right next to the road, often with limited visibility and zero protection from traffic.

You might not know this, but getting hit by a vehicle is one of the leading causes of firefighter and first responder deaths. Not fire. Not smoke. Not heat.
Cars.

We’re not behind big fire engines — we’re out in the open, on foot, sometimes just feet from moving traffic. And all it takes is one distracted driver.

If you see flashing lights, flaggers, cones, or firefighters:
👉 Ease off the gas
👉 Stay alert
👉 Give space

We’ll get the fire.
You just get us home
