Today is the 4th anniversary of the Sockeye Fire, a wildfire that devastated our neighboring community of Willow with nearly 100 structures lost. Houston FD was the second department on location, and our crews were on that fire for weeks. Many of our current members are veterans of the fire.
We ask you to honor the anniversary by burning safely, or better yet by waiting until the fire danger level decreases. It is very dry out there, and beetle-killed trees are everywhere. It only takes one mistake to repeat the result.
Get your CAMERA out! The Willow Lion’s Club 2nd Photo Contest has just begun! Check out the details below!! Good Luck...
The highest in the Mat-Su today, the fire danger in the city of Houston is at High per the State of Alaska Division of Forestry. Do not leave any fires unattended, and remember you must have water and hand tools at your burn site in case it starts to creep away from the designated area.
Burn permits are required for any outdoor burning except campfires, including burn barrels. If we come knocking, it's just to be sure that you're burning safely. Tomorrow is the 4th anniversary of the Sockeye wildfire, which was caused by debris burning.
