Have some brush to burn?
In order to burn brush waste you have to get a burn permit. Permits are free, and available for all residents within the Municipality of Anchorage. This includes the Chugiak area. You can get a burn permit by going to the burn permit website.
Also, some days you can't burn due to weather. Before burning, please call the AFD Burn Hotline (267-5020) to see if today is an open burn day.
Remember, fire safety is everyone's responsibility! Please download the Safe Burning Standards (.pdf) You will find information on burning regulations and safety tips.
