2010 Wildland Fire Updates
updated 7/19/10
The Wildland Fire Season is here and active!!
Homeowners can play an active role in protecting their homes and
communities from the threat or spread of wildland fires by practicing
the
FireWise
concepts.
This summer the Fairbanks North Star Borough will be sending teams into
the communities to educate homeowners on how they can make a difference
in protecting their home and create defensible space. For more
information on the Firewise concepts, please visit their website at
http://firewise.org/

firewise@fnsb.us.
Preparing Your Pets for Emergencies Makes Sense. Get
Ready Now.
While
our pets hold a special place in our hearts, unfortunately they often
don't hold a place in our disaster preparedness plans.
Please consider pets when preparing for the
approaching wildfire season and other disasters.
FEMA’s Ready Campaign
has a brochure on
pet preparedness(PDF file), a
pet preparedness instructional video, and a
Community Pet Preparedness Toolkit.
Learn how you can protect your home and property against fire from the
FireWise Alaska guide

Burn Permits are required from April 1 – August 31st
through Division of Forestry.
