Soldotna, Alaska – The Burn Suspension
activated earlier this month will be lifted as of 12:00 PM today. This means that Permitted Burning is allowed once again. This includes only approved burn barrels, and
brush/debris piles no larger than 10’ across and 4’ high. Fire
officials want to remind all citizens that fireworks are not allowed and cannot be shot off on the Kenai Peninsula.
Those planning on operating a
burn barrel or burning a debris pile must
call the burn permit hotline at: 907-260-4269 each
day before they burn and leave their name, location of the burn, and a good
contact phone number to be reached at.
Residents must follow the guidelines on the burn permits before
burning. They are also reminded that the area around the burn barrel must be at
least 30’ from structures and overhead power lines, cleared at least 10’ around
down to mineral soil, must have a no larger than a 5/8-inch gapped metal mesh
screen on top of it, and covering all ventilation holes. They also must have
water and a shovel nearby and be attendance of the burn at all times until it
is complete.
