CBJ cancels Air Emergency

The City & Borough of Juneau’s Lands Division and Capital City Fire/Rescue have canceled the Air Emergency issued earlier this week for the entire borough. Levels of airborne particulates caused by regional forest fires have decreased and are no longer in the unhealthy range. All open burn permits and open burning may resume.

CBJ will continue to monitor the particulate levels and issue future announcements or air emergencies if concentrations return to unhealthy levels. For more information, please contact the Lands Office at 586-5252. For questions regarding open burning, please contact CCFR at 586-0600.
